Key takeaways from the final Georgia governor debate between Kemp and Abrams that took place this evening
Gov. Brian Kemp and Stacey Abrams had one last debate to persuade Georgia voters still undecided about who to support in the governor's race, and the pair used the platform to criticize one another on everything from abortion to guns, with Abrams also attacking Georgia Senate candidate Herschel Walker .
"It is not my desire to move the needle any further on this issue," Kemp said."I personally don't see a need to go back. But when you're governor, you have to deal with all kinds of legislative issues that are out there, so we'll look at those when the time comes." "She's benefited personally from that running around and scaring people about suppressing votes, suppressive legislation," Kemp said of Abrams."We had people from New York criticizing us about [SB 202]. We had President Biden criticizing us about this bill. ... In Georgia, it's easy to vote and hard to cheat, and I'm committed to keeping it that way."
Abrams underscored that police and other law enforcement resources are being stretched by mental health problems. But she underlined that she disagreed that redirecting money was the answer. Instead, she advocated investing in education and gun control. Abrams pressed Kemp on background checks, specifically for private sales at, for example, gun shows and waiting periods before purchases.
