Oprah Winfrey made her 2018 midterm campaign debut on Thursday, hitting the stump for Democrat Stacey Abrams in Georgia’s heated gubernatorial contest – the latest celebrity or political heavyweight bringing their star power to the final stretch going into Election Day. Abrams, who would be the first black female governor of any state, has generated a particular amount of star power in her race against Republican Brian Kemp. President Trump and former President Barack Obama, too, are planning to hit Georgia, to support their respective parties’ nominees. And while Winfrey was campaigning for Abrams on Thursday, Vice President Pence was hitting the stump for Kemp. Trump’s scheduled appearance Sunday sidelined the last debate scheduled between Kemp and Abrams.
