[07:01] Georgia on my mind - State in spotlight ahead of election
Bill Clinton won Georgia for the Democrats in 1992. The next time a Democrat won this state was four years ago, when Joe Biden beat Donald Trump by a margin of 0.3%, which is pretty much the definition of a narrow victory.

Nobody should look back on 2020 with anything but a mix of relief that it’s over and dread about what we watched. And yet Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump keeps asking voters if they’re better off now than they were four years ago.
So I had to go look up my receipts from back then. Here is what they reveal about where things in my life stood on Oct. 25, 2020 versus today:
Looking over all of this anecdata, none of it makes me pine for four years ago.
But in this election, none of that should even matter. Beyond Trump’s open fondness for fascism, weird Hitler admiration, unhinged incoherence onstage, and relentless lying–traits notably absent in Democratic nominee Kamala Harris–he instigated the Jan. 6 insurrection because he could not accept getting fired by the American people in a free and fair election. Attempted murder of democracy is among the most serious crimes an American president can commmit, and Trump’s guilt there should alone rank him as the worst president in American history and disqualify him from any return to that office.
