Wednesday on Political Rewind: The U.S. House prepares to take a final vote on President Joe Biden’s $1.9 trillion COVID-19 relief package. Gov. Brian Kemp continues to criticize the measure as a bailout for Democratic-majority states. Our panel discusses if Georgia stands to benefit and Kemp’s objections. Also, a gun bill championed by Georgia U.S. Rep. Lucy McBath could soon see a vote in the U.S. House. The legislation would establish universal background checks for all potential gun buyers.
