Understanding Trump’s coalition and Democrats’ path forward

Politically Georgia

As President-elect Trump’s administration picks continue to divide both Democrats and Republicans, new data sheds light on the coalition that secured his victory. On today’s episode of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution's Politically Georgia podcast, hosts Bill Nigut and Tia Mitchell speak with Emory University’s Bernard Fraga to analyze the voter trends that propelled Trump back to the White House.

LaTosha Brown, co-founder of Black Voters Matter, joins the podcast to discuss how identity politics influenced the election and what strategies Democrats can use to counter the conservative messaging that resonated with voters.

Plus, we explore other political news making headlines, including reports that Nikema Williams may step down as chair of the Georgia Democratic Party.
