Governor's race candidates stumping ahead of May primary, Atlanta youth gun violence, teen takeovers

On this week's Political Breakfast, the candidates in the Georgia Governor's race are in the final weeks to reach voters -- whether that's through big ad spending, or showing up for public forums and debates. The front-runners are still Republican billionaire healthcare CEO Rick Jackson, and former Democratic Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms. The May 19th primary is fast approaching, and polls show there's still a ton of undecided voters. Republican strategist Brian Robinson and Democratic strategist Tharon Johnson tell host Lisa Rayam that the remaining weeks will make a huge difference. Plus, Atlanta leaders say they're deeply troubled by the recent uptick in gun violence. Much of that violence has happened during so-called 'Teen Takeovers' across the metro. The Atlanta Police Department is still investigating many of these shootings, and are urging parents to know where their kids are...or else face charges.

Transportation

What’s the deal with chromium and insulin resistance?

The overall mood, animosity after Georgia's Legislative Session? Plus, lawmakers could be summoned back for a special session

On this week's Political Breakfast, the final gavel banged on Sine Die. Georgia's 2026 Legislative Session is over. But as the dust settles and bills head to Governor Brian Kemp's desk for his signature, host Lisa Rayam asks Democratic strategist Tharon Johnson and Republican strategist Brian Robinson about the overall vibe under the Gold Dome. The gang shares that the session ended with more animosity than normal between both chambers, and some hard feelings. That's as lawmakers begin clearing out their desks and refocus on the upcoming elections. Besides major offices like Georgia Governor, Secretary of State and U.S. Senate, all of our state Representatives and Senators are up for re-election this year. Plus, the potential for a special session? State lawmakers failed to pass legislation on the final day of the Georgia General Assembly to tackle a self-imposed July 1st deadline, to end the use of QR codes to count votes. Now they could be summoned back in May or June, to tackle how Georgians will vote in future elections. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
