Today's edition of GPB's "Political Rewind" began with the only topic that could top the Sixth District contest: The precarious state of metro Atlanta's transportation system.

But Tuesday’s vote reasserted itself, with a general consensus around this: Democrat Jon Ossoff probably won’t win outright tomorrow and avoid a June 20 runoff. And Republican Karen Handel might win that second-place spot – but that it’s the Republican side of the race that might be the most volatile.

Today’s panelists: Host Bill Nigut; yours truly; Republican consultants Loretta Lepore and Brian Robinson; and Democratic strategist Tharon Johnson.
