Five takeaways from the final Georgia governor debate between Kemp and Abrams

Gov. Brian Kemp (R) and Stacey Abrams (D) had one last debate to persuade Georgia voters still undecided about whom 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 (R).

Roughly one week before Election Day, Abrams, a former Georgia state lawmaker, is behind the incumbent by an average of 7 to 8 points, according to FiveThirtyEight and RealClearPolitics, respectively.

Here are five takeaways from their final hourlong debate:

Kemp and Abrams each appealed to the middle ground on abortion

With Democrats trying to leverage abortion access as a wedge issue this midterm election cycle, Kemp repeated that Georgia voters are permitted to disagree with his anti-abortion position. At the same time, Abrams reiterated she believes in limitations that take viability into account.
