Monday on Political Rewind: Federal unemployment benefits helped buoy Georgians through a difficult year of economic fallout from the COVID-19 pandemic. Now, Gov. Brian Kemp and several Republican lawmakers across the country are moving towards ending the weekly checks for the unemployed in their respective states.

Kemp announced last week the $300 weekly payments would end on June 26, saying the move would help push more Georgians into the workforce. Our panel discusses the latest.

Meanwhile, two Republican members of the Georgia's congressional delegation face heated criticism for their role in perpetuating false narratives about the 2020 election and about the violent insurrection that shook the U.S. Capitol in January.

Plus, the Biden administration struggles to address longstanding immigration issues. How much is Biden's favorability among voters tied to reforming U.S. immigration?
