ATLANTA — Stacey Abrams has stayed out of the spotlight since her rematch against Gov. Brian Kemp ended in a resounding defeat. Her top aide, however, broke her silence with a 52-part social media post that said it was “nearly impossible” for Abrams to beat the Republican incumbent.
The lengthy Twitter thread by Lauren Groh-Wargo came Wednesday as Democrats celebrated the runoff victory of U.S. Sen. Raphael Warnock, the party’s only statewide winner in Georgia. She framed Abrams as a political martyr whose work set the stage for Warnock’s victory.
“What @staceyabrams created to lift up voters of color, defend democracy & help other leaders became a launching pad for some & her millstone- weighing down her numbers & costing her the election of 2022,” Groh-Wargo wrote in the first tweet.
