President Donald Trump returned to Georgia for an event in Cobb County on Wednesday. While the subject was Trump Accounts, WABE Politics Reporter Rahul Bali says it amounted to just a few minutes of the hours long rally. The event at Wheeler High School in Marietta, was also attended by notable Republicans, including gubernatorial candidate Rick Jackson. Bali provides a full recap of the event.

 

Then, “Closer Look” continues its conversation focusing on the Democratic Socialists – their recent electoral victories and what influence they could have on the upcoming midterm election. We also examine their complex relationship with the Democratic party and analyze the DSA’s overlapping goals and divisions on strategy. We hear from Emory University Political Science Professor Andra Gillespie and Political strategist and Author of "Socialism and the Democratic Party" Blake Ashby.
