The battleground state of Georgia is hosting the first 2024 debate between the presumptive Republican and Democratic presidential nominees. President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump will make their bids for a second term on Thursday night, broadcast live from Atlanta.

On Wednesday’s edition of “Closer Look,” host Rose Scott talks with WABE politics reporter Rahul Bali and Tammy Greer, a clinical assistant professor at Georgia State University.

Bali joins the program from the State Capitol ahead of a Biden campaign press conference, which featured a notable group of Trump opponents: Former Illinois Republican Congressman Adam Kinzinger, former Georgia Lieutenant Governor Geoff Duncan and January 6th Capitol Police Officer Harry Dunn.
