On this edition of Political Rewind, as Brett Kavanaugh's confirmation to the Supreme Court faces a make or break week, Sen. David Perdue (R-Georgia) urges his colleagues to take its time in vetting the allegations of sexual assault.

On the campaign trail in Georgia, Stacey Abrams has resisted attacking President Donald Trump. But she broke her silence to condemn his harsh comments about one of Kavanaugh's accusers. Kemp has remained outside of the fray.

We look at what role the contentious confirmation process will play on the elections here in Georgia.

Meanwhile, GOP House incumbents Karen Handel and Rob Woodall are keeping Trump at arm’s length as they fight to hold seats that Democrats are honing in on.

Plus, a crucial vote today may determine the future of the troubled multi-billion dollar expansion of Plant Vogtle.
