Tuesday on Political Rewind: Sens. David Perdue and Kelly Loeffler are among Republicans in the Senate that President Donald Trump has put on the hot seat. Will they help deliver the first override of a Trump veto after he refused to sign the Defense Authorization Act?

Also, Democratic Senate candidate Raphael Warnock is facing a barrage of partisan attacks accusing him of being anti-Israel, a charge that borders on suggesting he may be anti-Semitic. Warnock vehemently denies the accusations, and supporters say the attacks are an insult to the longstanding ties between Atlanta’s Black and Jewish faith leaders.
