David Scott passes away; Dr. Jasmine Clark joined to commemorate his service

Dr. Jasmine Clark joined The Ron Show Thursday.

PLUS: Senator Warnock takes more verbal whacks at RFK Jr., and new polling bolsters Bottoms’ grip on the Democratic primary & Tucker Carlson’s (still) a liar

The Democratic Congressional primary in Georgia’s 13th Congressional district ⁠now features an open seat⁠, as longtime Rep. David Scott suddenly passed away earlier this week at the age of 80, bringing about yet another special election in Georgia this cycle, but also putting a pause on the primary race where many of Scott’s opponents saw his age as a liability.

Joining for insights into how her campaign may respond, plus provide her condolences, Georgia state representative ⁠Dr. Jasmine Clark.⁠

Also ⁠offering his condolences⁠, Republican former Rep. Tom Price.

In Washington, Georgia’s Reverand Senator Raphael Warnock had yet another opportunity to pelt Robert F. Kennedy Jr., with plenty of evidence that RFK is unqualified and unserious for the job as head of the Department of Health & Human Services.

Got a Keisha Lance Bottoms mailer, so maybe that’s where her campaign funds are going? So far, it’s still just Jason Esteves on the air, when Rick Jackson or Burt Jones aren’t. I bring this all up (again) because ⁠even newer poling shows Bottoms’ grip on the Democratic primary seems even stronger,⁠ and in run-off one-on-one’s she still beats the field.

While on that race, an⁠ internal Georgia Democratic party memo from chair Charlie Bailey ⁠evokes “bullishness” on Democrats winning that seat.

Not buying the Tucker Carlson apology shtick, but I do know he’s just among the handful of rats hopping off the sinking ship. Nor am I giving room to the sudden pearl-clutching from MAGA after Virginia voters voted TO gerrymander (in response to Trump’s mid-decade attempt to mitigate his midterm demise).
