The Georgia Hour, episode 32: Georgia’s Legislative Chaos and GOP Turmoil: A Deep Dive into Crossover and Conventions

This podcast examines Georgia’s legislative "crossover" phase, where bills like a deceptive sports betting amendment (HR 450, HB 686) and a contested school safety bill (HB 268) face last-minute changes, exemplified by a past "Soapbox Derby bill" that ballooned from 3 to 56 pages. It also critiques the Georgia GOP’s convention cycle, highlighting leadership failures under David Shaffer and Josh McKoon—marked by lost seats and Trump’s narrow 2024 win—and internal conflicts, including Cobb County’s decline under Sally Grubbs and election tampering concerns.
