What Happened To Stacey Abrams?
FIVE THIRY EIGHT
In the governor’s race, our Deluxe forecast gives Kemp about a 9-in-10 chance of being reelected, as of this past Friday at 12 p.m. Eastern. Because Abrams is a Black woman seeking statewide office in the South, sexism and racism are likely to blame for some of her underperformance — but not all of it. Abrams’s lackluster polling can also be attributed to the tepid enthusiasm for her candidacy among Black men. Plus, unlike in 2018, when she was running for an open seat, she’s now up against an incumbent who has proven himself to be a deft politician while in office.
