Georgia: Stacey Abrams Outpaces Kemp In Campaign Fundraising

Things could get very interesting down in Georgia this election cycle as campaign officials for Democratic gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams announced they raised $22 million in the past two months ending in June. https://twitter.com/ABC/status/1545562150290219008 From ABC News:

Stacey Abrams’ fundraising continues to accelerate, swamping Republican Gov. Brian Kemp and pushing close to $50 million raised in the seven months since the Georgia Democrat announced her campaign in December.

Abrams announced Friday that her direct campaign and its associated One Georgia committee raised $21.8 million during the two months ended June 30 and together had $18.5 million in cash on hand.

That’s far more than the combined $6.8 million Kemp raised for his direct campaign and associated Georgians First committee. Kemp said he had $6.4 million in cash as of June 30.
