Today on "Political Rewind," the panel weighs in on the latest developments in the travel controversy engulfing HHS Secretary Tom Price. President Trump suggests he approves of an investigation looking into whether Price violated policy on the use of chartered aircraft by government officials. In the meantime, Price says he'll only fly commercial while the investigation proceeds.

We look at a new effort to expand MARTA into a section of traditionally transit-adverse Cobb County.

Trump once again shows he knows how to stir up support from his base while drawing outrage from critics as he lambastes NFL players who take a knee during the playing of the national anthem.

And, we look at where a special Alabama U.S. Senate election stands one day before voting. Is the president's chosen candidate Luther Strange headed for a devastating defeat for mainstream Republicans?
