Cautious Optimism
Atlanta leaders brace for ICE ahead of World Cup
Atlanta Voice editor-in-chief Donnell Suggs & CBS News' environmental correspondent David Schechter joined the show Wednesday.
As Atlanta prepares for the World Cup, fears are growing over a larger ICE presence and what it could mean for residents, visitors, and voter confidence. Ron digs into the data behind ICE arrests in Georgia, sharp words from federal officials, and pushback from local leaders, including Rep. Nikema Williams and Mayor Andre Dickens.
Donnell Suggs, editor-in-chief of The Atlanta Voice, joins the show to explain how Black Atlantans are reading the moment, why protests here may look different than in Minneapolis, and how local media is stepping up as major newsrooms shrink.
The conversation also turns to Georgia’s crowded 2026 governor’s race, voter engagement in the Black community, and how immigration, civil rights, and politics are colliding just as the world’s eyes turn to Atlanta.
CBS News’ national environmental correspondent David Shechter joined to discuss new research that show what we all know – American climate (like the world’s) is getting hotter, and faster. It’s impacting New England (comfortable summers) and the Rocky Mountain states’ (ski season snow) tourist draws.
Finally, a curious late entry into the Georgia gubernatorial race comes with a tone of (his own) money; which campaign (if any) does his entry impact, and impact most? Ron’s theory is it might actually impact a Democrat as much or more.
