Georgia hasn’t voted blue in 28 years. Now, amid Joe Biden taking the state from Donald Trump, Stacey Abrams is getting the credit she deserves for helping Biden win it.
As we’ve all witnessed during this year’s presidential election, Joe Biden has managed to win a handful of battleground states over Donald Trump, including two notable flips from the 2016 election — Michigan and Wisconsin. Biden is also forecasted to flip several other states that include: Arizona, Georgia, and Pennsylvania, with Georgia and Pennsylvania’s votes almost fully accounted for. Social media users have since directed their attention at the two states, and acknowledging the people who’ve played an integral part in mobilizing voters — especially young voters — and helping turn the states to Biden’s favor. In Georgia, there’s one person in particular who has been credited with Biden’s performance in the state — Stacey Abrams.
Abrams, a Yale Law School graduate, tax attorney, and former Georgia state representative, first gained nationwide attention when she ran for governor against Brian Kemp in 2018. Unfortunately, she lost, with many believing that Kemp won the race because of racially motivated voter suppression. The then-secretary of state for Georgia had mass-canceled more than a million voter registrations between 2012 and 2018, and in the run-up to the tight gubernatorial race, froze an estimated 53,000 registrations, a majority of them belonging to African American voters, according to a report from the Associated Press.
