Political Breakfast from WABE WABE

Atlanta Mayor Andre Dickens is known for being a mayor who seems to be everywhere. But this week, he’s facing criticism over his being absent during the early hours of the city’s water emergency.

On this week's second serving of Political Breakfast, host Lisa Rayam, Democratic strategist Tharon Johnson and Republican strategist Brian Robinson discuss a surprise upset in the Georgia primary.

In Cobb County, 27-year-old Gabriel Sanchez defeated the ncumbent State Rep. Teri Anulewicz.

Sanchez now faces Republican Diane Jackson in this fall's general election.

The gang poses the question: IF elected to the Georgia House, will Sanchez be able to govern alongside moderate Democrats and make friends across the aisle?

City of Atlanta residents endured a water crisis over the weekend -- the result of several water main breaks. 

Days later, the city's response is still being scrutinized even after repairs were made. Just why did it take so long to communicate what was unfolding to weary Atlantans?

On this week's Political Breakfast, Democratic strategist Tharon Johnson, Republican strategist Brian Robinson and host Lisa Rayam sort through what feels like a lifetime without water for some.

Plus, a follow-up on Donald Trump's conviction on 34 felony counts in the hush-money trial in New York.

Donald Trump becomes the first former president to be convicted of felony crimes after a New York jury finds him guilty of covering up hush money payments to an adult film star prior to the 2020 election.

On this week's Political Breakfast, strategists Tharon Johnson and Brian Robinson go live with host Lisa Rayam after the Memorial Day holiday. 

Brian Kemp has skipped the Georgia GOP Convention twice. Now he's solidifying plans to attend the national RNC this summer in Milwaukee, and offering to help several Republicans down ballot across the country. 

Is this signaling a future presidential or U.S. Senate run?
