Abrams meets with top Democrats about possible 2020 Senate bid

CNN  

CNN — Georgia Democrat Stacey Abrams is discussing a possible run for one of Georgia’s seats in the US Senate in 2020 and has already started talking with top Democrats about a potential bid. And Abrams has continued to stoke speculation about her political future in the weeks since the midterms – in mid-December, she told a crowd at Fortune’s Most Powerful Women summit that “yes, I’m going to run again,” adding, “What it is I’m going to run for I haven’t decided yet – stay tuned.” The near-miss in 2018 left Georgia Democrats frustrated. Abrams considered a series of legal challenges, including an unprecedented attempt to request another election, and conceded nearly a week and a half after Election Day, saying that “the law currently allows no further, viable remedy.” Kemp, who previously served as Georgia secretary of state, resigned from his position the day after the contest, amid criticism of his handling of Georgia’s elections – including ballot rejections and malfunctioning voting machines – and a series of lawsuits. I outperformed Democratic presidential candidates, and what that signals is that this is a competitive state.” If Abrams does decide to jump into the state’s 2020 US Senate race against incumbent Republican Sen. David Perdue, she would instantly be a front-runner in the Democratic primary, and be able to draw on a fundraising base that powered her to a record-breaking $22 million haul in 2018.
