Political Breakfast takes a road trip down to Atlanta's own Spelman College

On this week's Political Breakfast, we're doing a recap of some local runoff election results. The cities of East Point, Roswell, Sandy Springs and South Fulton were all electing mayors last Tuesday. Voters chose new ones in all except Sandy Springs. 

The City of Roswell surprised many as a completely blue flip, as former Democratic State Representative Mary Robichaux nabbed 53 percent of the vote, and defeated incumbent Republican Mayor Kurt Wilson.

But it was a different story in nearby Sandy Springs, as Mayor Rusty Paul cruised to a fourth term, getting 69 percent of the vote and a nearly 7-thousand margin victory, over Democratic challenger Dontaye Carter. 

Democratic strategist Tharon Johnson and Republican strategist Brian Robinson focus on those races in north Atlanta with host Lisa Rayam.

Runoff election momentum across metro Atlanta

Georgia U.S. Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene dropped a bombshell that strategists Tharon Johnson and Brian Robinson said was in the works for some time.  Both agree the signs were there -- even before President Donald Trump called her a traitor. 

Still, Greene resigning caught some off guard, maybe even Trump himself. On this episode, Tharon and Brian discuss with host Lisa Rayam MTG's politics, hopes for redemption and her possible resurgence, as well as resilience.
