Live From Atlanta: GA Politics, a Growing Gender Gap and Scenes From Spelhouse Homecoming's Tailgate

With the 2024 presidential election right around the corner, all eyes are on the swing states. In this episode, host Kai Wright travels to Atlanta, the heart of one swing state where early voting numbers are at a record high , to hear about the historically large political gender gap. While the show was in town, Atlanta hosted homecoming festivities for Morehouse and Spelman Colleges, two of the nation’s most famous historically Black schools — and the perfect campuses to talk politics with students and alumni in between the parties. Kai is joined by Omar Ali , a local Atlanta business owner and political organizer; Rose Scott, host of the daily news magazine Closer Look on WABE, Atlanta Public Radio; and Errin Haines , co-founder and editor-at-large of The 19th, a newsroom that covers the intersections of gender, politics and policy. Plus, listeners tell us how the candidates’ appeals to their gender identity will affect their vote. Thanks to our station partner WABE for collaborating on this episode. Tell us what you think.
