The Georgia Politics Podcast

Welcome to this special episode of The Georgia Politics Podcast where the panel goes over the results of Tuesday night’s Midterm Elections. In Georgia, the big takeaways are that incumbent Governor Brian has defeated Stacey Abrams in their 2018 rematch and that incumbent US Senator Raphael Warnock is headed to a December 6th runoff with challenger Herschel Walker.
