Another Calm Week in Georgia Politics Just Kidding
Episode 274
Friday, 6 March, 2026
Welcome to The Georgia Politics Podcast! We're breaking down a busy week in politics at both the national and state level. We start with a look at the 2026 State of the Union, where President Donald Trump delivered the longest address in U.S. history and laid out his agenda on the economy, immigration, and foreign policy amid sharp partisan divisions. Then we turn to Georgia politics, discussing new polling in the races for governor and lieutenant governor, as well as the ripple effects of several recent retirements in the Georgia House. We also examine the shifting Democratic field after Rep. Ruwa Romman dropped out of the governor's race and what it means for the party's strategy heading into 2026. Plus, we talk about the Georgia House's passage of a tax cut package that Republicans championed but Democrats opposed, and what it could mean for the state budget. Finally, we zoom out to the global stage to discuss the ongoing conflict with Iran and how it's shaping U.S. politics and foreign policy.
