Thursday on Political Rewind: Could Georgia be in for two Senate runoff elections? Political analysts have longed considered an eventual runoff likely in the free-for-all race for the seat currently held by Gov. Kemp-appointee Sen. Kelly Loeffler. But polling now shows the race between Democrat Jon Ossoff and incumbent Republican Sen. David Perdue in a virtual tie. Support behind the Libertarian Party candidate could prevent any candidate in that race going over the 50% mark on Election Day.\n\nOur panelists included: Dr. Alan Abramowitz, professor of political science at Emory University; Ryan Graham, chairman of the Libertarian Party of Georgia; Patricia Murphy, politics reporter for The Atlanta Journal-Constitution; and Kevin Riley, the AJC's editor.
