How Stacey Abrams is looking to win Georgia

[AZProgressive]

When Stacey Abrams ran for governor of Georgia in 2018, she was relatively unknown. By 2020, though, her work in Georgia and for Democrats across the country made her a household name, in time for a second run.

“The GOP tends to have a lock on white voters, but the demographics in the state are changing,” Jones said. “So [she’s] got to get some cross section of all of the groups.”

Four years ago, Abrams captured the majority of Black voters’ ballots in areas such as Savannah, Atlanta and Augusta. This time around, Jones said, Abrams has to strengthen her support from LGBTQ voters, Asian voters and Latino voters.

“She’s going to have to … bring along some independent thinkers as well as convince some nontraditional Democratic voters to show up in this election,” said Antjuan Seawright, founder and CEO of political consulting firm Blueprint Strategy.

4. This white woman will turn out and vote for Stacey.

I cried when I voted for her in 2018 it was so thrilling that a black woman was running for Gov. of a deep Southern state.

6. The GOP tends to have a lock on white voters? That is why

The Hill sucks canal water.

7. They were quoting a political science professor

The Hill seems pretty neutral except for that Rising show but there they try to present “both sides”.

8. Right of Center, but not dramatically so

I normally follow the Hill knowing there's a bias because its journalism is still generally solid and well-sourced. That's becoming a rarity in this day and age.
