Inside Georgia’s Lieutenant Governor Fight | Politically Georgia

Georgia’s lieutenant governor race is becoming one of the clearest tests of where the state Republican Party is headed after Brian Kemp. Greg Bluestein and Patricia Murphy break down a crowded GOP primary where candidates are fighting over experience, Trump loyalty, conservative priorities and who should control the Senate’s agenda under the Gold Dome. Then Greg and Patricia interview former state Sen. John F. Kennedy, who argues that experience and governing relationships matter in a job that can shape taxes, elections, redistricting and the balance of power in Georgia politics. In this episode, you’ll learn: • Why the lieutenant governor’s office is so powerful in Georgia • How Greg Dolezal, Blake Tillery and John F. Kennedy are defining the GOP race • Why the “Epstein amendment” created a spicy debate moment • What Kennedy says about redistricting, voting machines and Trump’s agenda CHAPTERS: 00:00 – Why Georgia’s Lieutenant Governor Race Matters 01:27 – Kemp Republicans vs. MAGA Republicans 03:48 – Greg Dolezal’s Insider Outsider Pitch 06:07 – Blake Tillery’s Debate Stunt Over Capitol Records 08:57 – John F.
