U.S. Sen. Kelly Loeffler this week began her congressional tenure as Gov. Brian Kemp’s replacement for retired Sen. Johnny Isakson. 

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution’s Washington correspondent, Tia Mitchell, joined us to talk about Loeffler’s first days on Capitol Hill.

Meanwhile, Sen. David Perdue signed on as a sponsor of a resolution calling for the impeachment case against President Trump to be dismissed. This came after the president's former national security advisor, John Bolton, declared himself ready to testify in the Senate.

Closer to home, Kemp signaled he’s willing to hear out legislators who want to scale back Georgia’s biggest-in-the-nation tax credits for movies and television production.

Are the credits as valuable to the economy as supporters have claimed?
