Georgia Gov. Nathan Deal, right, and wife Sandra attend a ceremony unveiling a statue paying tribute to civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr. on the state Capitol grounds in Atlanta, Monday, Aug. 28, 2017.

On this edition of Political Rewind, Nathan Deal says he may be in his last year as governor, but he insists he’s no “lame duck”.  We’ll look at what he wants to accomplish before leaving office.  Also, a federal court ruling on a North Carolina case raises new concerns about efforts to draw congressional maps strictly for partisan gain.  Plus, in a freewheeling session with Democratic and GOP congressional leaders, President Trump sows confusion over where he stands on dealing with undocumented immigrants.  And, what Oprah can teach democrats about running against Donald Trump and his agenda.
