While congressional and presidential elections are attracting much attention, one of the most consequential stories of the 2020 election in Georgia is the battle for control of the state House. Thursday on Political Rewind: a look at the latest from those races.

Democrats are making an aggressive effort to pick up the 16 seats that would give them a majority for the first time in almost two decades. But Republicans are defending their majority fiercely.

Thursday on Political Rewind: The latest polls all point to a similar conclusion — former Vice President Joe Biden and President Donald Trump are neck-and-neck in the race to win Georgia.

Wednesday on Political Rewind, we discuss the latest on a slate of crucial elections in Georgia as early voting numbers show record turnout. Only two days into the in-person early voting period, more than 10% of the state’s registered voters have already cast their ballots, either in person or absentee.

And yesterday, in Georgia's 6th Congressional District race, Democrat Rep. Lucy McBath and Republican challenger Karen Handel met in a tumultuous debate. Polling is tight between the two just three weeks from Election Day. We also touch on the 7th Congressional District race between Democrat Carolyn Bourdeaux and Republican Rich McCormick for the seat of Republican Rep. Rob Woodall, who decided not to seek re-election.

Tuesday on Political Rewind: The first day of early in-person voting saw record turnout. The Georgia Secretary of State's office says more than 128,500 Georgians cast their ballots on Monday. That number is far above the 90,000 who voted on the first day of early voting in 2016.

Also: Sen. David Perdue and challenger Jon Ossoff met yesterday in the first televised debate in the race for Perdue’s Senate seat. Both lobbed harsh criticism towards their opponent with just weeks to go in the contest.

On a Special Edition of Political Rewind Monday, we speak with Dr. Bill Foege. He is co-chair of a panel of public health experts who have devised the distribution plan of a future COVID-19 vaccine.

For two months, the public health panel wrestled with complicated ethical and medical questions: Who will be the first to receive a limited vaccine supply? When will the vaccine be available to all, and who will pay for the protection?

Now their report has been released to the public.

Our panelists were Dr. Bill Foege and Jim Galloway, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution's lead political writer.
