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.
