Obama praises Abrams for 'more hopeful vision'

Source: Atlanta Journal-Constitution

Former President Barack Obama on Friday blasted Republican Brian Kemp for not stepping down as the state’s chief elections official as he runs for Georgia’s highest office, and he touted Stacey Abrams’ “more hopeful vision” of government.

He told thousands of supporters at Forbes Arena on Morehouse College’s campus that America is at a “crossroads” and that Abrams would help the country get back on track.

“The health care of millions of people are on the ballot,” he said. “Making sure that working families get a fair shake is on the ballot. But maybe most of all the character of our country is on the ballot.”

Without mentioning Kemp by name, he said the secretary of state was among Republicans “trying to disenfranchise people and take away the right to vote.”
