"U never know who’s gonna come a knocking! #teamabrams," Winfrey posted on Instagram alongside a video of herself knocking on the door of a clearly shocked woman who confirms that, yes, she will be voting for Abrams come Tuesday. Abrams is in a contentious governor's race in which Jimmy Carter and Will Ferrell have also gotten involved. "Down here in Georgia y’all going door to door. Canvassing for #StaceyAbramsforGovernor," reads another post. "Oprah for Stacey Abrams Is the Next-Best Thing to Oprah for President," declares Vanity Fair.
