Buttigieg, O'Rourke to meet with Stacey Abrams in Atlanta

Democratic presidential hopefuls former Rep. Beto O’Rourke (D-Texas) and South Bend, Ind., Mayor Pete Buttigieg are set to meet with former Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams in Atlanta on Thursday, according to three people familiar with the plans.

The candidates are slated to hold separate in-person meetings with Abrams on the sidelines of the African American Leadership Summit and IWillVote Gala.

Abrams has said she is willing to meet with any candidate seeking the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination to discuss voting rights issues. She met earlier this year with former Vice President Joe Biden ahead of his presidential campaign announcement.

A spokesperson for O’Rourke did not respond immediately to The Hill’s request for comment, and a spokesperson for Buttigieg declined to comment on the meeting but confirmed that the mayor is scheduled to meet with Abrams on Thursday.

Abrams’s close but ultimately unsuccessful bid for governor last year has fueled Democratic hopes of making electoral gains in the state in 2020. A number of the party’s presidential contenders have already made stops in the state this year.
