ATLANTA -- The final days before the Georgia midterm elections are at hand - and they're bringing major names in politics and entertainment to the state.

Vice President Mike Pence and Oprah are both in Georgia Thursday, campaigning for keeping gubernatorial candidates Brian Kemp and Stacy Abrams. But both are taking opposite approaches to the process.

Oprah will be making stops in two of Georgia's more populous counties, Cobb and DeKalb as part of two town hall events.

Pence will be hitting the trail in more rural parts of the state - Dalton, Grovetown and Savannah - over roughly the same time period.

They're just the latest round of big names to come stump for the candidates in what has become one of the most watched elections in the state. Donald Trump and Barack Obama have also weighed in for their parties' candidates.
