In 2018 Stacey Abrams won the Democratic primary for governor of Georgia and faced Republican Brian Kemp in the general election. Her campaign supported greater access to health care, investment in public schools, abortion rights, and gun control. Abrams received support from prominent Democrats, including Barack Obama and Bernie Sanders, and appeared at an event with Oprah Winfrey. She narrowly lost to Kemp, receiving 48.8 percent of the vote to his 50.2 percent, and she did not concede because of allegations of voter suppression.
