  • Summary

  • Lt. Gov. Burt Jones and House Speaker Jon Burns traveled to Washington to stand alongside President Donald Trump as he signed a national ban on transgender athletes participating in women’s sports. Today, the Georgia Senate will vote on a similar statewide ban. On Politically Georgia, hosts Greg Bluestein and Patricia Murphy break down the political implications and what’s next for the legislation. Then, we hear from Congressman Mike Collins, who shares his thoughts on the Laken Riley Act and what further steps he wants to see the Trump administration take on immigration policy. Plus, senior AJC reporter Ernie Suggs joins the show to discuss this year’s Black History Month series, Atlanta Unveiled, and how it highlights the city’s deep cultural and historical roots.
