In what can only be described as a political shake-up, two of Georgia’s most high-profile Democrats have suddenly taken major steps back from state leadership, and while the headlines may focus on personal reasons, the deeper story is clear: the Democratic Party in Georgia is fractured, fatigued, and facing a reckoning after Donald Trump’s stunning 2024 victory flipped Georgia back to red.
