Republican Gov. Brian Kemp argued during their final debate that Abrams doesn't support law enforcement but supports defunding the police, before touting his support from 107 sheriffs across the state of Georgia.

"I'm not a member of the good ol' boys club," Abrams responded. "So, no. I don't have 107 sheriffs who want to be able to take Black people off the streets, who want to be able to go without accountability. I don't believe every sheriff wants that, but I do know that we need a governor who believes in both defending law enforcement but also defending the people of Georgia."

Walker said he believes people in other countries would not vote for government candidates who bash the country.
"I guarantee they wouldn't have the right to say that," he said, adding that since the U.S. is great, it grants people the right to bash the country.
