On this edition of Political Rewind, a charge of sexual harassment against the presumed frontrunner in the race for lieutenant government. How will State Senator David Shafer fight off the accusation and will it change the dynamic of the race? Also, during a raucous rally in Pennsylvania, President Trump takes credit for Karen Handel’s victory in Georgia’s 6th Congressional District. Does a bear hug from Trump strengthen her re-election campaign or make her more vulnerable? Plus, Democratic Congressman Hank Johnson draws a former Atlanta Falcon as an opponent for his seat.
