Former Georgia Lt. Gov. Geoff Duncan testified during an unofficial House Democratic hearing marking the five-year anniversary of the Jan. 6, 2021 U.S. Capitol attack. Speaking with ’ The Takeout afterwards, Duncan described the riot as “an all-out conspiracy.” Duncan, who served as a Republican lieutenant governor and became a target of then–President Trump and other Republicans after refusing to overturn Georgia’s 2020 election results, said the pressure campaign by Trump and his allies “pushed us to the edge,” but enough safeguards and people stood firm to move the country forward.

Since leaving office, Duncan has shifted politically, publicly endorsing former Vice President Kamala Harris and criticizing Trump, actions that led to the Georgia GOP expelling him from the party. He formally switched to the Democratic Party in 2025 and entered the 2026 governor’s race. His entry adds to a crowded governor’s contest featuring a range of Democratic and Republican contenders as Georgia grapples with its political future.

With global energy markets affecting millions of people, the Latin-American population in Georgia is expressing differing views. Protesters gathered in Atlanta this past weekend to voice sharply different views over U.S. involvement in Venezuela, underscoring deep divisions within the Venezuelan-American community as well as broader concerns about America’s role in global conflicts. Several speakers at the anti-intervention rally argued that any U.S. military action would be an illegal escalation that could lead to another prolonged conflict overseas, with organizers warning that Venezuela’s vast oil reserves are at the center of U.S. interest and taxpayer dollars would be better spent on domestic needs.

But not everyone in the city opposed U.S. actions, reflecting how deeply personal and polarizing U.S. foreign policy has become for families with ties to the region. CBS News Atlanta spoke with Venezuelan-Americans who support the administration’s involvement, believing it could bring long-awaited change and freedom, even as loved ones in Venezuela face fear and uncertainty.
