The Dixie Dems: A Progressive Voice in the South During the Holidays

As the holidays approach, the Dixie Dems take a step back—and a clear-eyed look forward—at a Southern political landscape that’s shifting in surprising ways.

In this special holiday episode, Bob Gatty (South Carolina), Arthur Hill (North Carolina), and Robert Thompson (Georgia) share season’s greetings while digging into what’s ahead for Democrats in the South as 2026 comes into view.

🎄 In this episode, we discuss:

• Georgia’s increasingly competitive governor’s race and growing Democratic momentum
• North Carolina’s political crossroads and the lasting legacy of Democratic leadership
• Surprising new polling in South Carolina that could spell trouble for longtime GOP incumbents
• Why Democrats must reclaim their history of progress, fairness, and opportunity

The holidays may be a time for reflection—but the Dixie Dems are clear: the South has a voice, and it’s getting bluer.
