GA-GOV: Stacey Abrams Considers Third Run for Governor

“Eight years ago, Stacey Abrams delivered a speech at an Atlanta union hall that channeled the liberal outrage over President Donald Trump’s first term in office into her own budding campaign for Georgia’s top job,” the Atlanta Journal Constitution reports.

“Now Trump is in his second term, Republicans are ascendant again in Georgia and Abrams is at the center of speculation over whether she will mount a third campaign for governor after back-to-back defeats to Gov. Brian Kemp.”

“Unlike her 2022 rematch against Kemp, however, Georgia Democrats aren’t stepping aside.”
