Georgia governor Brian Kemp did a wide-ranging interview with the "Politically Georgia" podcast hosts last Thursday, which aired last Friday morning on WABE-FM and via podcast (⁠listen here⁠). In it, Greg Bluestein, Tia Mitchell, Patricia Murphy and Bill Nigut grilled the governor to figure out where his support for the GOP presidential nominee is (we know where wife, Marty, stands, for now), his views on immigration, his stance on abortion rights in the face of 'dog catches car' backlash and where he is on Medicaid expansion should the 2025 General Assembly put it on his desk. Stubbornly, he's holding out (slim) hopes that his 'Pathways' project - thus far an abject failure - will work to insure hundreds of thousands of uninsured Georgians. Hear a good bit of the conversation and some "seasoning" of points I add to the dialogue.
