Georgia’s ‘Most Popular Loser’ of 2025
1Description
On Politically Georgia, host Greg Bluestein talks with Sam Foster, the 24-year-old IT specialist who came within 87 votes of unseating Marietta’s four-term mayor. Foster explains why he jumped into the race, how TikTok and grassroots organizing fueled his surge, and what his campaign says about Georgia’s push for generational change in local politics.
Then Washington correspondent Tia Mitchell joins Greg for a segment of Monday Mailbag, where they answer questions about Georgia’s income-tax debate, how Hispanic voters could shape the 2026 races, and the uncertain future of the state’s stalled election-interference prosecution.
