Stacey Abrams’s Ground Game Puts Georgia Within Joe Biden’s Reach
After losing out on the governor’s office in 2018, she got back to work on turning the state blue.
For Stacey Abrams, Friday was harvest day, and it was bountiful.
As the sun rose over Georgia, the Democratic presidential candidate, Joe Biden, took the lead in the state and moved ever closer to becoming the country’s next president. At the same time, Abrams, the former minority leader of the Georgia House of Representatives and candidate for governor, rose to a torrent of congratulatory messages on social media. They were thanking her for her years of grassroots efforts to turn the state’s disenfranchised population into the bloc of powerful voters that proved critical in delivering Georgia to Biden, and in changing the outcome in key races across the state.
