About this episode

On this week's Political Breakfast: There's questions swirling, as to why Georgia's Republican Lt. Gov. Burt Jones has failed to endorse billionaire healthcare executive Rick Jackson for governor.  Jones lost the Republican primary runoff election to Jackson. The campaign attack ads were intense. The out-of-pocket spending was immense.  There may be some bad blood between the two, but with the November general election months away, is it time to clean the slate? Democratic strategist Tharon Johnson and Republican strategist Brian Robinson share their thoughts with host Lisa Rayam.  Plus, U.S. Democratic Sen. Raphael Warnock is calling for a temporary statewide ban on massive data center deals in Georgia. That's in response to a $20 billion dollar project planned for Effingham County, just north of Savannah. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
