This information was confirmed by a source familiar with the matter to Fox News Digital. Abrams, who previously served as a leader in Georgia's state legislature, narrowly lost to Governor Brian Kemp in the 2018 election and was defeated again in their 2022 rematch by a margin of nearly eight points.
As reported by Fox News, Governor Kemp, a popular conservative figure, is restricted by term limits from seeking reelection in 2026. The Cook Political Report, a respected nonpartisan political analysis group, has labeled the upcoming gubernatorial race in Georgia as a "toss-up," indicating a potentially fierce contest in this pivotal battleground state. Georgia's political landscape has mirrored national trends in recent presidential elections, with President Donald Trump winning the state in 2016 and 2024, while Joe Biden claimed victory in 2020.
