Democrat Stacey Abrams said Wednesday she is running for governor in Georgia, setting up a possible rematch with GOP Gov. Brian Kemp in what could become one of the most closely watched races in the country. Abrams lost to Kemp in 2018 by 1.4 points.
The voting rights advocate and former top Democrat in the Georgia House of Representatives tweeted her announcement, saying she is running"because opportunity in our state shouldn't be determined by zip code, background or access to power."Abrams' announcement is a boon for Democrats. Abrams ran for governor in 2018, losing to Kemp by 1.
"He added:"Of course having her, I think, might be better than having your existing governor, if you want to know what I think. Might very well be better."GOP division would give a boost to Abrams in an election year that is otherwise looking difficult for Democrats."The odds are only in her favor if the Republicans have a bloody primary," said Erick Erickson, the Atlanta-based conservative talk-radio host.
