From the Atlanta Journal-Constitution:
"If there is a single person who deserves the credit for Georgias moved to blue in the last four years, fellow Democrats believe it is Stacey Abrams."

As social media lauded the work Abrams has done, she shared the credit with others, especially the late Rep. John Lewis, whose home county in the 5th congressional district put Biden ahead in the tally early Friday.
Valerie Jarrett, the former adviser to President Barack Obama responded, You forgot one.

The article also gives credit to Killer Mike and his efforts to turn out the vote. I sure hope Stacey is given a prominent role in the Biden administration.

(11,804 posts)...because the work she's done the past 2 years has made what's going on in GA possible.
I think she has a future in the cabinet or maybe still Governor of Georgia. Maybe more. I know I have gained respect.
Through hard work and a never give up attitude she exemplifies the best of the party.

(32,688 posts)My sister sat out the historic elections of 2008, 2012, and 2016; but voted in the off year election of 2018.
I had to apply tremendous pressure to get her to vote this year, including commandeering her Google calendar with multiple voting "appointments." Lol! However, she wouldn't even have been registered without Stacey, so, thanks Stacey Abrams!
