Channel 2 Action News confirmed Monday that former President Barack Obama will hold a campaign rally for Abrams on Friday afternoon at Morehouse College.

Then, on Sunday, President Donald Trump will be coming to Georgia to stump for Kemp. Two sources told ABC News that Trump will be in Macon to campaign for Kemp.

The president's campaign website shows the event is scheduled for 4 p.m.

Kemp's spokesman said the campaign is "excited to welcome President Trump to Georgia."

So far, nearly 1 million people have voted across the state in the election.

Both candidates ended up stumping in the same small town in Morgan County on Monday.

Channel 2 political reporter Richard Elliot was there as Kemp's campaign buses rolled into Madison.

Joining Kemp onboard were current Gov. Nathan Deal and other Georgia Republican leaders.

Mary Beacham was there to greet them. She lives in Morgan County, but spent 35 years driving a DeKalb County school bus.

She said she doesn’t want to see her state change.

“We really got to have a Republican. We’re really -- because some of the things that are going on are too far out there, we can’t afford all these socialist ideas,” Beacham told Elliot.

After his speech, Kemp joined Deal and spoke with Elliot before boarding his bus to drive to another campaign stop.

Kemp told Elliot that the state doesn’t need change and he wants it to keep going in the same direction.

“We’re doing great in our state. This is a race about direction. We want to keep that going and move it to the next level. Or do we want to try something new that will take us in the wrong direction?” Kemp said.

Two hours before Kemp arrived, Elliot was there as Abrams arrived to an enthusiastic crowd.

Ezata Brown, 83, was among the crowd. She told Elliot that she wants to see things change for the better.

“I’m interested in change and a better future for the young people that must come after me,” Brown said.

After Abrams spoke to the crowd, Elliot talked to her before she, too, drove off to the next campaign event.

“We just had an overflow crowd in Morgan County. We’ve had overflow crowds in multiple places, but more importantly, we’re seeing people showing up who haven’t voted before,” Abrams said.

Early voting ends Friday. Election Day is Tuesday, Nov. 6.
