Georgia’s primaries for governor and U.S. Senate are shaping up to be a political battleground, offering plenty of drama for political observers. Yet, conversations with Republican and Democratic voters reveal widespread exhaustion with the state of politics.

Here’s what we uncovered:

  • Republican concerns: Voters question their party’s odds against Jon Ossoff in the fall general election.
  • GOP infighting: A Trump-like billionaire is overshadowing the former president’s endorsed gubernatorial candidate.
  • Democratic tensions: Supporters debate whether to back a former Republican lieutenant governor running as a Democrat.

Greg Bluestein of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution joins the discussion on the Politically Georgia podcast.
