The2022 Georgia gubernatorial election took place on November 8, 2022, to elect thegovernor of Georgia. IncumbentRepublican GovernorBrian Kemp won re-election to a second term, defeatingDemocratic nomineeStacey Abrams in a rematch. Abrams conceded on election night.[1] The primary occurred on May 24, 2022.[2] Kemp was sworn in for a second term on January 12, 2023.
Kemp was endorsed by formervice presidentMike Pence and former presidentGeorge W. Bush. He faced a primary challenge from formerU.S. SenatorDavid Perdue, who was endorsed by former presidentDonald Trump after Kemprefused to overturn the results of the2020 presidential election in Georgia. Trump ultimately gave Kemp a last-minute endorsement in the general election.[3]
Stacey Abrams, the former minority leader of theGeorgia House of Representatives and founder ofFair Fight Action who was narrowly defeated by Kemp in the2018 gubernatorial election, was once again theDemocratic nominee for the governorship. This was Georgia's first gubernatorial rematch since1950.[4]
Incumbent governor Brian Kemp faced criticism from former presidentDonald Trump for his refusal to overturn the results of the2020 United States presidential election. Kemp was booed at the Georgia Republican Convention in June 2021,[5] and in December former senatorDavid Perdue announced a primary challenge to Kemp and was promptly endorsed by Trump. Initial polling showed a competitive race, however, Kemp significantly outraised his opponent and signed conservative legislation such aspermitless carry of firearms and a temporary suspension of the gas tax that shored up his position among voters, and on election day, he won by over 50 points, a margin far larger than predicted.[6][7][8]

Libertarian Shane T. Hazel, the Libertarian nominee for U.S. Senate in2020, also declared he would run.[88] This race was one of six Republican-held governorships up for election in 2022 in a state carried byJoe Biden in the2020 presidential election. Kemp won his first term by a narrow 55,000-vote margin (1.4%) in 2018, which was Georgia's closest gubernatorial election since1966. In 2022, however, pre-election forecasting showed a solid lead for Kemp throughout and he ultimately won re-election by nearly 300,000 votes (7.5%) - the largest raw vote victory for a Georgia governor since2006. The race was seen as a potential benefit toHerschel Walker, who ran in the concurrentSenate race, as it was speculated Kemp's strong performance could help Walker avoid a runoff. He underperformed compared to Kemp, however, and narrowly lost to incumbent Democratic senatorRaphael Warnock in theDecember 6 runoff election. This was the first time since 1998 that Georgia voted for different parties for Senate and governor.[200]
