Bloomberg Washington Correspondents Joe Mathieu and Kailey Leinz deliver insight and analysis LIVE from the campus of Georgia Tech in Atlanta, where primary results show President Donald Trump’s powerful grip on the Republican Party.
The US President’s hand-picked candidate for a congressional seat in Northern Kentucky, Ed Gallrein, defeated the president’s nemesis and longtime GOP House member Thomas Massie in one of the most expensive primaries on record.
Gallrein’s victory is the clearest sign yet of Trump’s grip over his Make America Great Again base in solid Republican states even as national surveys show the broader electorate souring on the president’s handling of the economy and war in Iran.
Today’s show includes conversations with:
– Andra Gillespie, Emory University Professor
– Chris Bruce, Policy Director for the ACLU of Georgia
– Andrew Young, Civil Rights Activist, former Democratic Congressman (1973-77), former US Ambassador to the United Nations (1977-79), former Executive Director of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference
– Rachel Whitlark, Georgia Tech Sam Nunn School of International Affairs Associate Professor
