WATCH: Georgia Gov Race 2026 Explained: Keisha Lance Bottoms vs. Rick Jackson | “Gub with Gav” ft. Saba Long
Who will be Georgia's next governor, and why should young voters care? On this episode of Gub with Gav, host Gav’Rielle Sampson sits down with political consultant Saba Long, host of the Where the Party At podcast. They break down the 2026 Georgia gubernatorial election between Democrat Keisha Lance Bottoms and Republican nominee Rick Jackson. We cover how Georgia politics has changed since Stacey Abrams' first run, what a Rick Jackson administration could look like (including DOGE-style budget cuts), the power of the under-40 vote, paid influencers in political campaigns, and the issues driving this race: affordability, cost of living, wages, housing, healthcare and HBCU funding. If you're a college student, an HBCU student or a first-time voter in Georgia, this episode explains what's at stake and how to make your voting plan on Election Day.
