Georgia secretary of state and GOP gubernatorial candidate Brian Kemp abruptly pulled out of his final scheduled debate with Democratic candidate Stacey Abrams in order to have more time to campaign with President Donald Trump, according to a Wednesday New York Times report.
Kemp attempted to reschedule the debate, which has been set since September, and tried to shift blame to Abrams when she was not able to meet during a different time slot before Tuesday’s elections.
The race, riddled with accusations of voter suppression, is extremely close: Real Clear Politics has Kemp leading by just over 1 point.
