Stacey Abrams will be back on the campaign trail in a second bid for governor of Georgia next year, setting the stage for a possible rematch with GOP Gov. Brian Kemp.
Stacey Abrams rose to national prominence during her 2018 failed bid to become the nation's first black female governor.Stacey Abrams will be back on the campaign trail in a second bid for governor of Georgia next year, setting the stage for a possible rematch with GOP Gov. Brian Kemp whom she lost to in 2018.
In 2018, she ran a high-profile race for governor against Kemp, but lost by less than two points. Abrams credits her loss to Georgia’s restrictive voter registration processes and voter purges. Abrams highlighted the work she’s accomplished since leaving the campaign trail in an announcement video that shows Abrams at community events and features various scenes of Georgians at work."I've worked to do my part to help families make it through paying off medical debt for 68,000 Georgians expanding access to vaccines, bringing supplies to overwhelmed food banks, lending a hand across our state, especially in rural Georgia," she said.
Both Kemp and Abrams may face primary challenges but their announcements are likely to clear their party's fields, setting the stage for what should be a closely-watched political showdown.
