Georgia

There's an all-out attack on our court systems in the U.S, and Georgia isn't exempt from this battle. Amee Vanderpool covers the latest attempt by the GOP legislature to control the state's district attorneys.

All eyes were on Georgia for the runoff election between Raphael Warnock and Hershel Walker. Tia Mitchell, the Atlanta Journal Constitution's Washington reporter, joins Rick to discuss Warnock's victory, how he defeated Walker and how powerful Georgia has become as a swing state. And Rick teaches a lesson in civility with this episode's entry onto The Enemies List. Listen to find out who he schools.

Georgia gave Herschel Walker the Heisman (Thanks, Dave Pell) -and youth voters were a big part of it. Joe and Alex break down the Georgia win and what it means with special guest Victor Shi - who's been hard at work organizing Gen Z and youth voters. What are they doing that has MAGA so freaked out? And no, Newt, it isn't just getting on TikTok. What's the path forward for Democrats to capitalize on their historic wins with Gen Z? Check out more of Victor's work @VictorShi2020 on Twitter.

Electing a 51st Democrat to the Senate doesn't just tip votes in the Senate, it reshapes committees and that is, in a word, huge. Victor Shi tells us why.

Joe and Alex are joined by TargetSmart CEO Tom Bonier and Simon Rosenberg to break down what we actually saw in the 2022 midterms. How did a new tool help crush the narrative of the Red Mirage? And why did the media stay so locked in on the Red Wave idea? (They did their own research!) Turns out hopium on our side was more like... copium from theirs. How bad was the MAGA hangover? And what's the future of the Democratic coalition - why does it all come back to Arizona? Finally - a quick look at Georgia. How do we see the runoff shaping up?
