On another live version of Political Breakfast, our strategists discuss Rick Jackson’s absence Monday during the Atlanta Press Club debate for the Georgia Governor's race. The empty podium left the door wide open for Democrat Keisha Lance Bottoms to take advantage of what she called a missed opportunity to explain his positions.

Democratic strategist Tharon Johnson advises the Bottoms' campaign.  Republican strategist Brian Robinson advises Rick Jackson's. Both joined host Lisa Rayam to discuss why Jackson was absent at the latest debate, which also fell on the first day of early voting across Georgia. 

Early voting runs through October 30th. What role could early voter turnout play in determining the outcome of the governor’s race?
