In the meantime, though, she’s got other things to do. Nearly a year after <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2018/nov/10/georgia-election-recount-stacey-abrams-brian-kemp" target="_blank">the Georgia governorship was stolen from her by Republican Brian Kemp,</a> it’s undeniable that nobody but Stacey Abrams gets to choose what’s next for Stacey Abrams. Even before the election was officially certified in favor of Kemp, the corrupt then-secretary of state, speculation over Abrams’ next steps abounded: Surely she’d run again, but for which office? Senate? Governor (again)? President? Shouts of “Abrams (for anything) 2020!” continued to echo in late November as Georgia’s favorite Stacey announced her next project: Rather than jumping right into a new campaign, Abrams was poised to launch Fair Fight Georgia, a nonprofit devoted to fighting not just the blatant and unchecked voter suppression that kept her out of the governor’s mansion, but <a href="https://apnews.com/508ec36426f24ec8bffa2689aa38d09d" target="_blank">that scourge’s reach across the entire country.</a> <blockquote> “My mission is to take a little bit of time to decompress, and then No. 1, file this lawsuit, get this organization off the ground, get a little bit of rest and then get to work figuring out what we can do to not only help Georgia but help the United States,” she told the AP. </blockquote> Despite this noble and necessary pursuit, demands that Abrams declare her next steps surged once more in February when she delivered a near-perfect official response to the State of the Union address. Amid the speculation, Abrams maintained that she’d made no decisions yet, beyond her vow to fight for fair elections for all Americans. Traditional media, of course, continued to glide right past the <a href="https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2019/7/8/1869093/-Before-the-2020-election-we-MUST-fight-back-against-voter-suppression" target="_blank">widespread voter suppression</a> that remained Abrams’ crucial focal point, choosing to focus on what she might do instead of what she was already doing. rss@dailykos.com (Jessica Sutherland) 2020 Abrams Democrats Election2020 FairFight FairFight2020 fairfightgeorgia Georgia GOP Media NYT President Republicans Senator Stacey StaceyAbrams Strategy VicePresident voterprotection VoterRights VoterSuppression _1879003 Wed, 14 Aug 2019 19:39:25 +0000 Biden Holds Large Lead In South Carolina and Warren Is Way Behind In Her Home State https://www.dailykos.com/story/2019/4/8/1848790/-Biden-Holds-Large-Lead-In-South-Carolina-and-Warren-Is-Way-Behind-In-Her-Home-State It is still very early in the 2020 democratic presidential primary race, but here are some early polls that were published on the Political Wire web site on 4/8/2019.
