President Donald Trump delivered a national address Thursday night focused primarily on claims of widespread election fraud. The president cited what he calls "brand new and irrefutable" evidence to support his claim. What sort of impact could this have on this year’s midterms? We get analysis from a roundtable of guests: Fred Hicks, Atlanta-based campaign strategist and demographer; Julianne Thompson, founder and president of Mainstreet Network Strategies and a longtime public affairs & government relations professional; and WABE politics reporter Rahul Bali.

 

Plus, El Ponce owner Rosa Thurnher talks about the origins of her Mexican restaurant – and what the future holds for the Ponce de Leon Ave staple.
