On this edition of Political Rewind, more than ever before, the eyes of the nation are on Georgia as the race for governor draws to a close.  President Trump, former President Obama, Vice President Mike Pence and even Oprah are rushing in to urge voters to get to the polls. 

Then, a final gold standard poll before election day shows the race between Brian Kemp and Stacey Abrams to be closer than ever before, with neither cracking fifty percent.  Are we looking at the state’s first ever gubernatorial runoff?

Plus, are Trump’s closing arguments helping or hurting candidates for congress here and across the country?
