Political Rewind: Senate Runoff(s), Close Margin Push Georgia In New Spotlight
Friday afternoon on Political Rewind:\xa0The margins remain close in Georgia\u2019s ballot count. Overnight, Democratic challenger Joe Biden surpassed President Donald Trump as absentee ballots continue to be counted.\n\nVotes from Clayton County helped push Biden into the lead.\xa0The county south of Atlanta traditionally supports Democratic\xa0candidates and lies in the center of\xa0the late U.S. Rep. John Lewis' former congressional district.\n\nThree days after Election Day, more than 1,500 ballots separate the presidential candidates in Georgia.\n\nIn another important Georgia election, The\xa0New York Times has called the race for the 7th Congressional District in Atlanta's northwest suburbs. Democrat Carolyn\xa0Bourdeaux flipped the U.S. House seat there in an important pickup for her party this election.\xa0\n\nPanelists:\n\nDr. Alan Abramowitz \u2013 Professor of political science, Emory University\n\nStephen Fowler \u2013 Politics reporter, Georgia Public Broadcasting\n\nRobin Kemp \u2013 Founder and writer, The\xa0Clayton Crescent\n\nTia Mitchell \u2013 Washington correspondent, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
