The final televised debate between Georgia gubernatorial candidates Stacey Abrams (D) and Georgia Secretary of State Brian Kemp (R) has been canceled after the Kemp’s 11th-hour decision to pull out of the Sunday forum. Abrams and Kemp, who are running neck-and-neck in the hotly contested race, each blamed the other for the cancellation, which organizer WSB-TV confirmed Wednesday. Kemp reportedly suggested rescheduling the debate for Monday night, but Abrams said she had already made plans to meet with voters in southeastern Georgia at that time. “We are disappointed that the Kemp campaign is demanding we renege on our promises,” her campaign said in a statement.
