TSA wait times and chaos at Atlanta's airport, One bullfight after another in the Georgia governor's race
Wednesday, 25 March, 2026
On this week's Political Breakfast, we cover majoring bickering between Republicans running for Georgia Governor. Lt. Gov. Burt Jones and billionaire healthcare CEO Rick Jackson are on the attack. Jones has accused Jackson's company, Alpharetta-based Jackson Healthcare, of allowing doctors to perform transgender treatment on minors and prison inmates, and placing staff inside Planned Parenthood facilities. Jackson has accused Jones of using corrupt fundraising methods, and being a "stone cold liar." Republican strategist Brian Robinson and Democratic strategist Tharon Johnson talk with host Lisa Rayam about how that's affecting the other top GOP candidates and the Democrats too. In addition, the team talks about the travel troubles at the nation's airports, including Hartsfield Jackson International in Atlanta. The partisan divide in Congress over voting on funding the Department of Homeland Security, has translated into TSA agents working weeks without a pay check. Many have called it quits -- which means if you're flying, airport officials say you'll be waiting at least 4 hours to get through security. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
