Incumbent Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp and former state House Minority Leader Stacey Abrams, who wants Kemp’s job, head into the final stretch of their campaign with very different programs in mind for the state should they win.
The race gets national attention. After her narrow loss to Kemp in 2018, Abrams became a national figure, was considered for the vice presidency in 2020, and has been said to be a Democratic leader of the future. In early 2019, she delivered the Democrats’ televised rebuttal to former President Donald Trump’s State of the Union address.
