Political Breakfast from WABE
WABE
Every Tuesday and Thursday morning on the Political Breakfast podcast, veteran Atlanta journalist Lisa Rayam, Democratic strategist Tharon Johnson, and Republican strategist Brian Robinson deliver Georgia’s best analysis of local politics with a weekly dose of informed, respectful and lively discussion.
During Georgia’s state legislative session, Political Breakfast presents the pop-up podcast Gold Dome Scramble every Friday morning as host Lisa Rayam talks with reporters Sam Gringlas and Rahul Bali from the WABE newsroom to break things down for our listeners — the issues being considered, and the bills getting sorted through various committees at the Georgia State Capitol.

Listen to the last episode:
On this week's live Political Breakfast, host Lisa Rayam, Democratic strategist Tharon Johnson and Republican strategist Brian Robinson process a landmark Supreme Court ruling that grants former presidents broad immunity from criminal prosecution for official acts. How will this trickle down to affect Donald Trump's current indictment and the election interference case here in Georgia? It's a legal victory for Trump, who touted the 6-3 ruling as a "big win for our Constitution and for democracy." Democrats condemned it and president Joe Biden warned that the ruling meant there were “virtually no limits on what the president can do” if Trump wins the 2024 presidential election.
