Trump stumps in Savannah this week, Vance covers Macon and metro Atlanta, Burt Jones' texts surface that criticize fellow Republicans

Political Breakfast from WABE

On this week's Political Breakfast, we start with former president Donald Trump and his running mate JD Vance stumping in Georgia this week. The pair are traveling separately to cover more ground.

Plus, more political theater from Georgia's GOP.

Text messages surface that were sent by Georgia Lt. Gov. Burt Jones. The texts from Jones, a Trump ally, show he had no problem criticizing fellow state Republicans, including Gov. Brian Kemp.

Those were sent in the weeks after the 2020 election as Jones tried to help Trump overturn his defeat to President Joe Biden.

The texts could have been worse, says Republican strategist Brian Robinson.

Brian, the Atlanta Civic Circle's Saba Long and host Lisa Rayam break down internal divisions, and what this means for Jones' political future in the state?
