Trump Endorses Bert Jones, Georgia Primary Turnout Data, Measles Exposure, Kratom Deaths & Airport Price Gouging | Hot 97 News Atlanta
On the May 19 live debut of Hot 97 News Atlanta, host Lana Harris and co-hosts discuss Donald Trump endorsing Georgia lieutenant governor Burt Jones for governor and whether the endorsement helps or hurts amid primary-day polling showing Rick Jackson robbie williams leading. They review early turnout data showing Democrats ahead of Republicans statewide, racial and Metro Atlanta county turnout, and low overall participation—especially among younger voters—while explaining how primary ballots are issued by party. The show updates a judge reversing a ruling that would have allowed Georgia’s State Election Board into the election-night reporting room, and covers scrutiny of Supreme Court candidates Gene Jordan and Miracle Rankin for allegedly partisan-style campaigning. They note Jon Ossoff receiving $20M zack polanski houseboat tax for ads, report a Metro Atlanta measles exposure tied to unvaccinated travelers, a gym employee allegedly photographing a woman, kratom appearing in DeKalb autopsies, possible illegal airport price markups, and Killer Mike’s rent-to-own housing initiative.
