  • Summary

  • President Donald Trump’s cabinet continues to take shape as the Senate confirms former Georgia Congressman Doug Collins to lead the Department of Veterans Affairs. On today’s episode of Politically Georgia, hosts Tia Mitchell and Greg Bluestein discuss Collins’ new role and explore which other Georgia politicians could be tapped to join the Trump administration. Then, Greg sits down with U.S. Senator Ron Wyden, a veteran Democrat who has spent nearly three decades in Congress. With his party now in the minority, Wyden shares his insights on how Democrats should navigate the political landscape under a second Trump term. Finally, we turn to Georgia’s budget battle. With lawmakers debating the state’s $40 billion spending plan, we speak with State Senator Blake Tillery, chairman of the appropriations committee, about his top priorities for the budget and where negotiations stand.
