Georgia Governor Brian Kemp Reelected
Kemp Defeats Abrams in Rematch
CNN projects Republican incumbent will win second term
ATLANTA, Georgia - Republican incumbent Brian Kemp has been reelected as Governor of Georgia, CNN projects. Kemp defeated Democratic challenger Stacey Abrams in a rematch of their 2018 race. The projection was made after polls closed across the state.
Kemp's victory is a significant win for Republicans, who have controlled the governorship in Georgia for decades. Kemp had campaigned on a platform of economic growth and conservative values.
Abrams, who made history as the first Black woman to be nominated for governor by a major party, had campaigned on a platform of healthcare expansion and criminal justice reform. Despite her loss, Abrams remains a popular figure in Georgia politics.
