A closer look at Nikki Haley’s rise in the 2024 presidential campaign

First up on "Politically Georgia": We’ll dive deeper into Nikki Haley’s presidential campaign with South Carolina-based Associated Press reporter Meg Kinnard.

Plus, Republican lawmakers made U.S. Rep. Lucy McBath’s reelection to the House more difficult. But what if they've actually made her a stronger candidate down the road?

Then, a federal jury will soon consider how much Rudy Giuliani should pay for spreading pernicious lies about the 2020 presidential election.

And it’s Friday, so we’ll dip into the listener mailbag to answer your questions and share who we think is up and down this week.
