Abrams and her Republican opponent, Georgia Secretary of State Brian Kemp, both denounced the racist robocall, The Associated Press reported. The candidates’ first debate on Oct. 23 had been heated, with Kemp defending himself against accusations of voter disenfranchisement. Road to Power, which the Anti-Defamation League has described as a white supremacist and anti-Semitic group, has funded at least two racist robocalls against Gillum in recent months. Polls have shown Gillum, who would be Florida’s first black governor, running neck-and-neck against his GOP rival, former Rep. Ron DeSantis. Polls also show a tight race between Abrams and Kemp.
