Today on "Political Rewind," Georgia Republican Rep. Tom Price is President-elect Donald Trump's pick for Secretary of Health and Human Services. Price has been one of the biggest critics of the Affordable Care Act and has lead the charge to repeal and replace Obamacare. A physician turned politician, Price says he is open to compromise in his new role. If Price is confirmed, many are wondering what the fate will be for Medicaid and Medicare under the Trump administration.  

The 2016 general election was one of the most hard-fought and newsworthy elections in this nation's history. Author Thomas Lake's newest work chronicles the election from start to finish without skipping a beat. Lake shares his stories from his time on the trail and provides insight to what we could expect to see in the next administration.

With one seat in the Trump administration already offered to a Georgian, former Georgia governor Sonny Perdue hopes to become the next. Perdue, a native of Perry, has been rumored to be a potential candidate for Secretary of Agriculture.
