The state’s Republican Party begins its two-day annual convention in Columbus on Friday. With Donald Trump’s allies now in control of the state Republican party, Governor Kemp and other mainstream leaders will once again steer clear of the gathering. On today’s episode of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution’s Politically Georgia podcast, hosts Patricia Murphy, Greg Bluestein and Bill Nigut welcome Columbus’s WRBL-TV reporter Chuck Williams to the podcast to help set the stage for what could be yet another contentious GOP convention. Then, Georgia State Rep. Houston Gaines describes how the legislation he passed to trigger new investigations of cold homicide cases led GBI to make an arrest last week in the murder of UGA law school student Tara Baker in 2001. You’ll also hear how the surprising agreement between Donald Trump and President Biden, who will debate in Atlanta on June 27, could reshape the contours of the race, and look at why each candidate was so quick to say yes to debating.
