Republican incumbent Brian Kemp won the race for Georgia governor, defeating Democratic candidate and now two-time opponent Stacey Abrams, according to NBC and ABC News.
The two faced off once before back in 2018, with Kemp narrowly claiming victory after a runoff election. This gubernatorial contest has been one of the most closely watched this midterm cycle as both candidates are major players in their parties.
Kemp's advantage over Abrams was so impressive – approximately 300,000 votes – that she conceded early, with hundreds of thousands of votes remaining to be counted in Democratic strongholds such as Fulton, Dekalb, Bibb and Chatham counties. "The reports of my political demise have been greatly exaggerated," Kemp said during his victory speech.

Congratulations to Georgia Governor Brian Kemp on winning reelection:)
Can’t wait to hear the excuses from her as to why she lost this time.
You know the drill… Voter Suppression even though there was record turnout; racism, sexism, ageism, blah blah blah
@McLovin Stolt
Umm because Gov kemp and his wealthy allies put voting restrictions up to make sure another vote would not end up going the wrong way. Do your research ❤
She’s not a Republican so at least her supporters won’t be charging the state house
@Jeffrey Marra her supporters just burned down businesses and federal court houses and face no charges
Glad to see her loose Stacy. Congratulations Kemp!
Stacy, all I can say is 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Play that Race Card again….🤣🤣🤣
Yep I think that did Her in.
Well looks like the good ol boys won 😂.
And?
@Sam Izdat The other side lost; Again 😂
@Ap Ap Didn’t know if you were using “good ole boy” as a pejorative.
Can’t wait for that mammy for the Democratic Party to blame the Black man for her losing. Praise the Lord 🙌🏾
Which is a great thing
Good job Georgia. You didn’t let a person who doesn’t even take care of her body, lead you. She had disdain for family and the unborn because she is a weirdo.
Let’s Go Brandon!! Bye Bye Stacy!!!
I’m surprised she actually conceded, I owe my brother $5
Georgia shake those haters off Stacy Abrams is a serial campaigner tell her Bye Felicia Bye

She thought she was entitled to the votes of black men in her state, so she attacked them instead of speaking on issues that promoted them & therefore she lost🤣🤣
