Stacey Abrams is the Democratic Party's nominee for governor of Georgia. Today's election is a rematch against incumbent Gov. Brian Kemp (R), who defeated her in 2018.
Last time, Abrams came close enough to victory that the party catapulted her to stardom. Mainstream media minted her a sort of political genius—an expert on mobilizing minority voters, who tend to be very loyal to Democrats. Abrams became a crusader for the cause of voting rights, and was a frequent subject of glowing national magazine profiles.
