Trump’s Georgia electors, John King’s political future and Herschel Walker’s graduation

Politically Georgia

On today’s special edition of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution's Politically Georgia podcast, hosts Greg Bluestein and Patricia Murphy record from the Georgia State Capitol, where the state’s 16 Republican electors are casting their ballots for Donald Trump. The process cements Georgia’s electoral votes and is expected to proceed smoothly—unlike the contentious events of four years ago.

Before that, we sit down with Georgia Insurance Commissioner John King to discuss his political future and weigh in on the ongoing debate about insurance claims following the shooting of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson.

Plus, a Georgia sports legend makes news for a different reason—Herschel Walker has finally donned his cap and gown, celebrating the completion of his college degree.
