«Breaking News» Brian Kemp declared Georgia governor race as Trump takes credit for his win over Stacey Abrams

Republican Brian Kemp has officially won the Georgia Governor's race, denying Democrat Stacey Abrams the chance to become the first female black governor in the nation.

The Associated Press called the race for Kemp on Sunday afternoon as the state officially certified its results from the Nov. 6 election.

Abrams on Sunday conceded Kemp was the legal winner but refused to call him the legitimate winner.

The race has been a nail biter from the start as polls showed the two contenders running neck and neck.

Both sides poured money and star power into the contest, which was plagued by allegations of voter fraud.  

Kemp narrowly avoided a runoff contest, beating Abrams by 54,723 votes out of more than 3.9 million cast.

He had to get more than 50 percent of the vote to avoid a runoff and barley did so, coming in with 50.22 percent.

The race became an all-star battle with both sides bringing in the political might to help the candidates close the deal in the final days leading up to the election.

Abrams had Oprah Winfrey, former President Barack Obama, and Will Ferrell. 

Kemp had President Donald Trump and Vice President Mike Pence.

Trump took credit for Kemp's win on Sunday.

'I won against President Obama and Oprah Winfrey and Michelle Obama in a great state called Georgia for the governor. And it was all stacked against Brian and I was the one that went for Brian and Brian won,' he said on 'Fox News Sunday.'

It was unclear what he meant by the Michelle Obama reference as the former first lady did not campaign for Abrams, although her husband did. 

Abrams on Sunday conceded Kemp was the legal winner but said she would not call him the legitimate winner.

She told CNN's 'State of the Union' that she thought there was deliberate interference in the election, saying 'it began eight years ago with the systematic disenfranchisement of more than a million voters. It continued with the underfunding and disinvestment in polling places, in training and in the management of the county delivery of services. And I think it had its pinnacle in this race.'

'So yes, there was a deliberate and intentional disinvestment and, I think, destruction of the administration of elections in the state of Georgia,' she noted.

Voting rights was a huge issue in the race especially after Kemp - in his role as secretary of state - launched an investigation into the state's Democratic Party, just two days before the election.

Kemp claimed the Democratic Party of Georgia attempted to hack the state's voter registration system — yet has provided no evidence to support the charge. The secretary of state's office is refusing to supply any details, as well, and the Democratic Party is denying the unverified allegation.   

'I will never deny the legal imprimatur that says he is in this position, and I pray for his success,' Abrams said Sunday on CNN. 'But will I say that this election was not tainted, was not a disinvestment and a disenfranchisement of thousands of voters? I will not say that.'

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
