It was with joy that we discovered yesterday that Stacey Abrams our favourite harlequin romance novelist would run for Governor of Georgia.
This is not an error. You may Take a look at these ideasWhile Brian Kemp won in the 2018 gubernatorial elections, Abrams stated that she still believes that Kemp actually won that race. Saying that isn’t a threat to democracy to democracy to say that. It’s just This is the truth.
After declining to participate in U.S. Senate elections in 2020, Abrams has announced her planned bid. Abrams is entering an election that could be devastating for Democrats. She is, however, running in an election cycle that will be absolutely devastating for Democrats.
Abrams’s supporters shouted, “The election is being stolen!” The national press seized upon this while the Georgia press understood it to be a bunch of rubbish. Routine vote rolls, a Democrat initiated lawsuit that tied up the voting machines and required precinct shut downs. Those weren’t the work of a corrupt Secretary of State running for Governor.
Abrams and her crew made mistakes. They organized a huge voter drive. However, many of the new registrations they received were not valid. The black vote would not have been able to vote for her if her claim that it had been stolen was probably made before the election. This was her way of killing her election prospects. Georgia, it turned out, was much better for her actions.
Kemp restored the state’s economic health and reopened it. He opposed mask mandates. COVID-19: He was involved in almost every aspect of it. Abrams, meanwhile, stayed in the media’s spotlight and launched national initiatives for candidate recruitment and GOTV efforts. Her praise was even greater and she continued to be invited on television and into their columns.
For the media’s part, this was probably white guilt. Ignoring people like Abrams and Florida’s Andrew Gillum in favor of white dudes like Beto O’Rourke probably cost her some of the support in-state that she needed. They helped her to remain relevant.
In 2019, rumors began to swirl that Abrams was being considered for the Biden campaign’s Vice President. She laughed at the question because she still considered jumping in. Because she had her eyes on Georgia, she decided to keep out of 2020’s election. Biden, however, became interested in running for Vice President when she ran as the Democratic candidate.
Biden made it clear that he was going to choose a woman as his running mate. Democratic Party politics nearly guaranteed it would have a woman of colour. Problem was that the Biden team had already remembered her injures almost one year ago. She campaigned hard for it, but Kamala Harris won it. In retrospect it’s hilarious how the Biden team didn’t like Stacey Abrams being their running mate. They ended up choosing someone else to either ship overseas or hide from camera to keep her embarrassing the administration. And many of Biden’s allies publicly and privately told the media it was shameful behavior for her to be auditioning for the job like that.
She quietly returned to Georgia politics but was no less humble than she was when she began.
It is the last month of 2021 and Abrams is saying she’s running for governor in 2022. It’s going to be an absolute slaughter where Democrats are concerned. Kemp’s approval rating is 53 percent, according to the Morning Consult, and his disapproval is only at 27 percent. His problem is that unaccounted for 20 percent, which is going to be largely Republican and largely people who are buying into Trump’s misplaced anger at Kemp over the 2020 election in Georgia. If Kemp survives a Trump-backed challenger from the right, then he’s almost guaranteed re-election.
Abrams, though, has to get through a Democratic primary and the general election, which is not easy to do when there are whispers of Georgia’s Democratic establishment being unhappy with how her organizations have taken in a lot of money but aren’t willing to coordinate or share. Abrams is more concerned with herself than Georgia Democrats. The state’s party leaders understand this and will likely stay out of a primary because of it.
She’s a pro at reading the room. She just consistently misinterprets the mood of folks because she thinks a lot of herself and very little about others who aren’t supporter her or worshipping her every move.
