  • Forum Takeaways, Sterling’s Case

    Forum Takeaways, Sterling’s Case
    Apr 16 2026
    Greg Bluestein breaks down what he heard moderating a Democratic gubernatorial forum in Atlanta, where candidates emphasized affordability, health care and opposition to Donald Trump while still introducing themselves to voters. He explains why the race remains unsettled, with many Democrats undecided and major contrasts still ahead. Then Greg sits down with Gabe Sterling to discuss his bid for secretary of state and whether a Republican who rejected 2020 election conspiracy theories can win a GOP primary. Sterling outlines his defense of Georgia’s voting system, weighs in on proposed election changes and warns about threats ranging from misinformation to potential disruptions at polling sites.

  • Democrats’ Georgia Playbook

    Democrats’ Georgia Playbook
    Apr 15 2026
    Greg Bluestein goes inside one of Georgia Democrats’ biggest annual gatherings, the Carter-Lewis dinner, alongside Patricia Murphy and Tia Mitchell. They break down the message party leaders and candidates are trying to carry into 2026, from affordability and stability to tying Republicans to Donald Trump. They also examine where Democrats think they can compete, why down-ballot and rural races still matter, and how much of this strategy depends on strong candidates rather than just a favorable climate. The episode also looks at what Jon Ossoff, Andy Beshear and other prominent Democrats reveal about the party’s broader argument in Georgia. Have a question or comment for the show?
