ATLANTA — Stacey Abrams has already notched the Democratic nomination for governor. Now she’s trying to shape the rest of the statewide ticket ahead of this month’s runoffs.
The Democrat has endorsed a trio of down-ticket candidates since the May 24 primaries, putting her political capital on the line as she prepares for a November showdown against Gov. Brian Kemp.
The endorsements reflect a concern held by Abrams and other Democrats that a weak down-ticket candidate could bog down other contenders, including in the races for governor and the U.S. Senate.
