Congratulations to our presumptive Democratic nominee, Joe Biden!
Abrams builds massive political network ahead of 2020 decision
The Georgia Democrat has expanded her political reach as she mulls a run for president or Senate.
By MAGGIE SEVERNS and JAMES ARKIN 03/30/2019 06:41 AM EDT
Stacey Abrams is set to reveal soon whether shell run for president or senator or something else.
But in recent months, the Democrat has mounted a nationwide, largely below-the-radar effort to expand her donor and political network that will make her an instant force whatever she decides.
Abrams has traversed the country meeting with top Democrats since her narrow loss in the Georgia governors race. Shes met with every leading candidate for president, and become a regular draw on the big-ticket fundraising circuit, donors and fundraisers told POLITICO. Abrams headlined major donor events for the Democratic National Committee, the progressive donor collaborative Way to Win and former Sen. Barbara Boxer in recent months, and has discussed her political future with top Democratic donors.
At the reception for Abrams hosted by Boxer, held at a five-star Beverly Hills hotel in late February, local Democratic leaders and entertainment industry donors heard her talk about her work against voter suppression and about her brothers struggle with addiction. After the event, she was mobbed by attendees.

Ive said, more than a few times, that Im with Beto primarily because hes the only one that would put Texas 38 electoral votes into play.
Shell be the only one in the race that can realistically put Georgias 16 EC votes into play.
Cheetolini must go.
