Stumping for Abrams, Jill Biden says Kemp’s policies bad for Georgia

ATLANTA — Capping a Georgia trip that included two days of meeting with service members and their families, first lady Jill Biden traveled to Atlanta to raise money for Stacey Abrams’ gubernatorial campaign.

Biden, in remarks that lasted about seven minutes, told the crowd gathered at an Inman Park home Friday afternoon that incumbent Gov. Brian Kemp’s approach to governing is harmful to families.

“When your current governor brags about signing one of the toughest abortion bans in the country, when he refuses to expand Medicaid for Georgians who desperately need health care, as Stacey said, when he tried to make it harder and harder for people to simply use their voices and to go out and vote: I know that that makes you angry,” Biden said, according to a pool report.
