Monday on Political Rewind: the fallout from the second impeachment trial of former President Donald Trump.
Few were surprised when Trump was acquitted over the weekend. But the trial did come with some last-minute drama. The Senate took an unexpected vote to allow witnesses on Saturday morning, only for Democrats to abandon that path hours later in the interest of a speedy conclusion to the trial. What motivated the shift?
Meanwhile, the 43 Senate Republicans who voted to acquit provide a glimpse onto the hold that the former president continues to have on the party.
Also, Gov. Brian Kemp is working to reframe himself as the vaccine governor. Is that a risky proposition if supplies of vaccine continue to lag behind demand?
Join guest host Tamar Hallerman, senior reporter with The Atlanta Journal-Constitution and the panel as they discussed the latest.
