Trump, who endorsed former Senator David Perdue during the GOP primary.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>In recent weeks, Kemp shied away from criticism of Trump, choosing instead to express gratitude for the 45th president\u2019s time in office.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t know, you\u2019d have to ask him that question. Look, I\u2019m focusing on getting our vote out,\u201d Kemp <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2022\/11\/01\/politics\/brian-kemp-trump-georgia-governor-race-cnntv\/index.html\">told<\/a> CNN in late October when asked why he thought that Trump was avoiding the Georgia general election.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI appreciate what President Trump did for the state of Georgia. His administration was incredible to work with,\u201d he added, noting the help received during COVID.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Like most other states, crime, inflation, and the economy were the top three issues for Georgian voters.<\/p>\n<p>For her part, the 48-year-old Abrams opted to focus on abortion and cultural issues in the final weeks of her campaign, telling Georgia voters that Kemp\u2019s victory would threaten women, health care, the LGBTQ community, and even ban certain children from playing with their friends.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf we don\u2019t elect me, we will have no health care for half a million Georgians,\u201d Abrams <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/stacey-abrams-tells-oprah-elect-me-or-transgender-kids-will-be-banned-from-playing-with-friends-parents-will-be-forced-to-lie-and-gay-people-wont-be-protected\">told<\/a> Oprah Winfrey at an October event. \u201cOur children will continue to go to underfunded schools where transgender children have been banned from playing with their friends,\u201d she continued.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The Democratic nominee also claimed that the government would force parents to teach false history to their children.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe will have divisive laws that say that you have to lie to your children about their history,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n<p>Later, Abrams <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/stacey-abrams-takes-stage-at-lizzo-concert-with-my-body-my-choice-sign-after-latto-performs-py\">appeared<\/a> on a stage with a rapper named Latto to promote abortion as apart of her closing arguments.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Georgia voters were particularly animated in this election, despite Democratic warnings that a 2021 voter ID law signed by Kemp would disenfranchise millions of voters. Democrats warned that the legislation would usher in a new era of \u201cJim Crow 2.0.\u201d President Joe Biden <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/water-and-jim-crow-debunking-the-most-egregious-georgia-voting-law-falsehoods\">said<\/a> it would make that previous era of American history look like \u201cJim Eagle.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>However, despite those predictions <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcnews.com\/politics\/2022-election\/early-voting-breaks-records-georgia-bitter-senate-race-tests-red-blue-rcna55810\">more than two million people voted<\/a> via early voting and absentee ballots, smashing previous records in the process. Election day voters were still being counted as of press time.<\/p>\n<p>Gabriel Sterling, the chief operating officer in the Georgia Secretary of State\u2019s office, said during a press conference before the results were final that the voting process during the election had been \u201cspectacularly boring\u201d and had experienced no serious issues. He also noted that the average wait time even on Election Day was 2 minutes. The longest wait times were up to 10 minutes in highly populated areas.<\/p>\n<p>Chris, a father of two with a third on the way, in Cobb County told the Daily Wire he voted because he believes it is the \u201cduty of every citizen, and this election is especially important for several reasons.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe must stop the controlled demolition of our country by unchecked Democrat policies,\u201d he continued. \u201cI voted red down the ballot with the exception of Raffensperger since I thought his response to the 2020 election issues was horrendous.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The race was one of the most expensive contests of the cycle. Abrams and Kemp raised $165 million for the filing period ending October 25, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ajc.com\/politics\/kemp-abrams-haul-in-three-times-the-campaign-cash-they-did-in-2018\/H5OXHGOJWZDETJL6NVKYRBXVQM\/\">Atlanta Journal-Constitution<\/a> reported.<\/p>\n<p>As of the latest report, Kemp had raised just $69 million in total with roughly $10.3 million cash on hand. Abrams raised a total of $97 million dollars over the whole cycle; she currently has some $5.6 million cash unspent. For comparison sake, in 2018, the two candidates spent just $48 million combined.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Republican Georgia Governor Brian Kemp will defeat Democratic challenger Stacey Abrams in a rematch of the 2018 gubernatorial election, according to a projection by Decision Desk.\u00a0 Kemp, 59, dominated the polls all election cycle and even overcame opposition from former President Donald J.
