ATLANTA — Almost as soon as gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams called Georgia the "worst state in the country to live," the Democrat's campaign expected the remark to be the center of new GOP attacks. Gov. Brian Kemp's first TV ad of the general election cycle does exactly that.
"Bless her heart. Georgia leads the nation because Brian Kemp is the governor," said the narrator of the ad, which plays Abrams' remarks multiple times. It closes with a declaration that "Brian Kemp's kept Georgia the best place to live."
The 30-second spot, backed by a six-figure ad buy, highlights Abrams' speech to Gwinnett Democrats last month that referred to Georgia's poor rankings in health indicators and incarceration rates.
