Key Quotes: "I want you to know that polls do not see you, but I do. And the only poll that matters, is the poll at the ballot box," said Abrams in her closing remarks. "I promise to all Georgians I would work hard for them every day as their governor, whether they voted for me or not," said Kemp in closing.

For Context: Abrams was joined by former President Barack Obama at a campaign event on Friday, and former Vice President Mike Pence is set to campaign in Georgia for Kemp. Kemp is perhaps known for refusing to overturn Georgia's 2020 election results, and defeated a Trump-backed candidate in the Republican primary in May. Abrams is known for running unsuccessfully against Kemp in Georgia's 2018 gubernatorial election. According to FiveThirtyEight (Center bias), Kemp currently leads Abrams by 7 to 8 points.
