Loved catching up with the incomparable Jeff Hullinger today. Learned so much from him while at 11Alive News - about journalism and about ATL. Very few journalists know this city the way he does.🧡
If it’s Wednesday…it’s Meet the Press live from ATL!
Loved talking all things GA politics w/ Chuck Todd + Ellison Barber 🍑🗳
A Georgia-focused Meet the Press today ahead of the midterms. Appearances from GA Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, Andre Dickens, Geoff Duncan and journalists Jeff Hullinger and Blayne Alexander. #gapol #gasen
Per Stacey Abrams campaign: Oprah will join Abrams for a virtual campaign event tomorrow evening.
It’s a repeat of Oprah’s support for Abrams in the final stretch of the 2018 campaign. (1st reported by Tia "Very Calm Sis" Mitchell) #gapol
