Read our privacy policy Stacey Abrams deflected in a debate Monday evening when asked about whether she would accept the results of Georgia’s governor’s race in November after she did not concede in 2018’s election. “And unfortunately, Brian Kemp and Brad Raffensperger have decided to restore their greatest hits.” Ms Abrams has received widespread criticism after her refusal to concede the gubernatorial election, particularly after Mr Trump called the 2020 presidential election results rigged. However, Ms Abrams did not deny that Mr Kemp would be governor and did not try and stop him from being governor in the way Mr Trump did after the 2020 election results. An Atlanta Journal-Constitution/Georgia News Collaborative poll showed Mr Kemp winning 51 per cent of the vote compared to Ms Abrams’s 41 per cent.
