Today on Political Rewind, the second day of the Democratic National Convention brought several prominent voices from Georgia to the stage.

A highly entertaining roll call featured state party chairwomen Nikema Williams report Georgia’s delegate votes before a mural of Congressman John Lewis in Atlanta.

State Rep. Dar'Shun Kendrick said much of the messaging was centered on criticism of the current administration.

"There's just so much material there," the first-time convention delegate said. "You don't need to just focus on the COVID response with this administration."

Republican strategist Edward Lindsey said the roll call was part of an attempt from Democrats to energize voters while in uncharted territory.

"The roll call is usually when you put the television on pause and go grab some thing to drink," Lindsey said. "You didn't do that this time."

Stacey Abrams, Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter, Sam Park and Sally Yates all stepped into the limelight last night.

Panelists:

Greg Bluestein — Politics Reporter, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution

State Sen. Jen Jordan — Georgia State Senator (D-Atlanta) and DNC Delegate

Rep. Dar’shun Kendrick — Georgia State Representative (D-Lithonia)

Edward Lindsey — Former GOP state representative, Political Strategist
