Stacey Abrams' Georgia Turning Blue

[Bradshaw3]

From the Atlanta Journal-Constitution:

"If there is a single person who deserves the credit for Georgia’s moved to blue in the last four years, fellow Democrats believe it is Stacey Abrams."

As social media lauded the work Abrams has done, she shared the credit with others, especially the late Rep. John Lewis, whose home county in the 5th congressional district put Biden ahead in the tally early Friday.

Valerie Jarrett, the former adviser to President Barack Obama responded, “You forgot one.”

The article also gives credit to Killer Mike and his efforts to turn out the vote. I sure hope Stacey is given a prominent role in the Biden administration.

1. IMO Stacy can help the most as DNC Chair

She did a hell of a great job in Georgia, the party could take many lessons from her and use them in 2022 and beyond.

2. Well, maybe not blue

Rather more like purple-ish. Which is still a huge improvement from what it used to be.

4. Now unto Georgia Senate races

The infrastructure is in place so we just need to take the momentum to the Senate races.

We need this.

John Lewis, God bless his sweet soul.

6. Dems need to put a whole lot more respect on Stacey Abrams' name...

...because the work she's done the past 2 years has made what's going on in GA possible.

9. I agree

I think she has a future in the cabinet or maybe still Governor of Georgia. Maybe more. I know I have gained respect.

10. I agree

Through hard work and a never give up attitude she exemplifies the best of the party.

7. Biden will nominate Abrams for his cabinet. McConnell will block (if he's still majority)

at which time Joe should respond with "I hereby name Stacey Abrams as acting Secretary of HUD."

8. Yep. She got my sister to register and vote for the first time in 2018

My sister sat out the historic elections of 2008, 2012, and 2016; but voted in the off year election of 2018.

I had to apply tremendous pressure to get her to vote this year, including commandeering her Google calendar with multiple voting "appointments." Lol! However, she wouldn't even have been registered without Stacey, so, thanks Stacey Abrams!
