WASHINGTON _ Stacey Abrams is scheduled for a prime-time television appearance filled with potential and fraught with peril, one that could make or break the next chapter in former Georgia Democratic gubernatorial candidate's political career.
Abrams has been tasked to deliver the Democrats' response to President Donald Trump's State of the Union message Tuesday.
The job is a high honor _ a prime-time speaking role usually given to someone considered a rising star on the national political stage. It's also high anxiety, a nationally-televised moment where overly-glossy lips, extreme thirst, or a wooden performance can instantly make someone a meme or stall and even crash her political trajectory.
