Stacey Abrams, Who Never Accepted Defeat in Last Election, Running for Georgia Governor Again
“Can you run for Governor when you haven’t conceded the race you lost?”
Despite the shellacking they just took in the Virginia gubernatorial race, Democrats seem pretty high (wink, wink) on the prospect of electing more of their own in 2022. Case in point: Stacey Abrams, who has infamously and hilariously refused to concede her 2018 loss to Republican Brian Kemp, is running for governor of Georgia once again. Presumably, it will be a Kemp vs. Abrams rematch.
I’m running for Governor because opportunity in our state shouldn’t be determined by zip code, background or access to power. #gapol

Nearly a year after her defeat, Abrams issued a non-concession concession:
“I acknowledge that former Secretary of State Brian Kemp will be certified as the victor in the 2018 gubernatorial election, but to watch an elected official who claims to represent the people in this state baldly pin his hopes for election on the suppression of the people’s democratic right to vote has been truly appalling,” Abrams said.“So, let’s be clear. This is not a speech of concession. Because concession means to acknowledge an action is right, true or proper. As a woman of conscience and faith, I cannot concede that. But my assessment is the law currently allows no further viable remedy.”
“So, let’s be clear. This is not a speech of concession. Because concession means to acknowledge an action is right, true or proper. As a woman of conscience and faith, I cannot concede that. But my assessment is the law currently allows no further viable remedy.”
Today’s announcement that she’s running again perplexed some on Twitter.
Can you run for Governor when you haven't conceded the last race you lost?

When you’re Stacey Abrams, you can do anything you want!
Democrats won both 0f Georgia’s Senate seats in 2020, so they may be feeling the governor’s mansion is theirs for the taking. But Abrams is unpredictable, sometimes appears unstable, and is not likely to heed any lessons from Virginia, where a parent-led revolution sent a clear message that politicians cannot use children as pawns.
It’s not looking good for Stacey so far:
Such great news!!!

I don’t know that she is facing such an impossible task. After all, Kemp allowed the Dems to steal not only the state’s presidential electoral college votes, he let them do the same with both Senate seats. Who’s to say he won’t do the same with his own seat?
Stacy Abrams is not running anywhere. Just sayin…
Stacey Abrams: @ 5’3” & 180#, the Don Nottingham of Georgia politics: The Human Bowling Ball.
When he played for Baltimore, the Colts listed Don @5’10” & 210#.
God gave Stacey Abrams hair to always remind her that she can’t control everything.
Dear Stacy,
No means no.
GA
Unfortunately she has the political backing and clout with the left wing idiots who gobble up every false word she says about her stolen election. There will be a metric shit ton of outside money poured into this race from all over the country.
The fat is going to hit the fire.
If they elect this blob, they deserve her.
The Left hasn’t learned from their last pick based on color/gender aka,the Cackling Whore and they are poised to rinse and repeat with Abrams
Prop Joe, in drag and on the move.
I identify as a double bacon cheeseburger and this woman terrifies me.
If Stacy Abrams fought against diabetes even HALF as hard as she fights against the imaginary white supremacists that inhabit her mind…….
She has a fried-food fetish.
Q: How can you tell when Stacey Abrams dies?
A: A donut falls out of her hand.
She should run for Governor of Massachusetts. Our RINO has said that he is not running for reelection… and a good thing, that. He’s been as worthless as Massachusetts deserves but the Bay State could really use a “paradigm shift” Stacey’s is a perfect fit.
OTOH, Brian Kemp has really shown his colors and now we can see why Stacey is convinced that she actually won… because she probably did but somebody didn’t rig the machines just right. Those machines have served Brian, well.
She should run for Mascot of the University of Georgia. Everything I see her I think – “UGA”
As a dawg fan, no thanks! The job of Uga is already taken by a beautiful English bulldog.
Stacey Abrams is overjoyed that you will be beating the don’t vote/Rino/uniparty drum so she could become governor of Georgia.
Hopefully, she will lose again, and be even more of a sore loser.
If she becomes suicidal, she can tie herself to her neck and throw herself in the water.
Atlanta Braves. Case closed.
She won’t win. If it’s between her and Kemp, Kemp wins in a walkaway.
Kemp has only antagonized about 75% of Georgia Republicans. Burger Beagle has antagonized all of them, and most of the independents.
Georgia voters need ensure they win beyond the margin of fraud. I’m convinced that’s why Hillary and Abrams refused to concede: They were convinced their fraud could overcome anything as backward and unsophisticated as actual votes.
Hillary lost by less than 1% in MI, PA, and WI. If we had voter fraud rigged elections she would have easily become president.
By the way she was closer to the majority of the vote than Trump.
If you want to win you have to live in reality not a fantasy world where we are winning the elections/most of the people and just have to pass a voter integrity law.
Laws are great. But when the enforcers are corrupt….
We had “voter fraud rigged elections”. That’s why it was so close. And that’s why, having seen that their fraud in 2016 had not been quite enough, in 2020 they amped it all the way up, not merely to 11 but to 22.
People with no valid arguments like to give non sequiturs.
She couldn’t spell non sequitur, let alone define it. Either could Harris or Butthead.
This is not exactly news. Abrams has been over web advertising boxes (even LI’s!) like a bad smell for the past month. Lots of times, she owns every space on a page, and the complaint button for “I don’t want to see this ad again / because it is monopolizing every space on the page which is unfair by your rules’ is actually disabled.
“Stacey Abrams Just Paid Off $20-Kazillion of Poor People’s Medical Debt!”
What a saint. Used all her own money, too, I bet.
Speaking of her own money, not too long ago (2018) she reportedly owed $54,000 to the IRS and “roughly $170,000″ in credit card and student loan debts. In 2019 she claimed she had paid all that off. So she came up with $230,000, plus living expenses and campaign funding, in a year. Oh, and founded a non-profit organization called ‘Fair Fight Action” during that time
And the press isn’t even a tiny bit curious.
“Tiny” doesn’t fit the story here.
She had the money in her other pants….there was lots of room for it.
GA can do better than Abrams or Kemp. You are embarrassing yourselves.
Looking forward to the second term of Not Governor Abrams. She’s always entertaining, much the same way a wreck alongside the road is.
let abrams replace cuomo on cnn; cnn needs a check the box dope to compete with race baiting joy reid
It is not about running for Governor. What Stacy Abrams is about is converting election funds into high dollar salaries for family and friends who give her a kickback.
that’s the biden playbook
So Stac’s running for “re-election” of her record of doing nothin’, voter fraud, and her sis being a fed judge. … Expect she’ll be thinner than last time giv’n food inflation and lack of “handouts”; but donations should resume now.
She is a tremendous capitalist – given her ability to serve her targeted market (those she ho for) given ’em what they want for the price da market will bear.
Hard to imagine but she is even uglier than the nasty little leprechaun they elected in Chicago.
I disagree. If both of them were up for TV roles, I could see Stacey as the loudmouthed wine aunt on any black family sitcom. Lightfoot? 100% SciFi Channel.
Abrams is a big beauty compared to the nasty little leprechaun. 100% reality show.
Abrams is so fat, that when she took her dress to the dry cleaners and the clerk said, “we don’t do parachutes.”
All joking aside, the democrat media is hiding a very serious incident involving Abrams that occurred at the airport: they almost arrested her for having ten pounds of crack.
Interesting comparison. Lori is gay and married to a white woman. Stacey is a question mark. Single, and from what I read, not in any relationship. Weird. Apparently being a black politician is lucrative, well, more so than a politician without intersectional points.
If she wins, she’ll be the Dems nominee in 2024. Bank on it.
“If.”
Never know. With Michelle Obama out of the White House, Air Force Ton has been sitting idle.
Stacey should pursue something truly radical: a real job. In the meantime, guard the buffet!
She’s probably the type to exclaim: “What bad food, And such small protions!”
We Republicans here in Georgia cannot stand Kemp and hope to primary him out. Then take out Adam’s. Our current Governor and our Secretary of State have already committed political suicide.
Run on telling a majority of voters they didn’t really vote Biden and it is all a massive conspiracy to steal an election you will have proof it happened in a few years but have none now.
It will work about as well as convincing Republicans they didn’t vote against Hillary it was all Russia.
The other day, upon the stair
I met a man who wasn’t there.
He wasn’t there again today;
I wish to hell he’d stay away.
That’s kind of what a lifeguard recently felt, when at the end of the day he had to tell Abrams to leave the beach so the tide can come in.
The important question is whether she will get that sweet incumbent bump?!
am not clear on the “immunity while campaigning” concept, but could this also be a move to avoid prosecution for some of her other “activities?”
There is no such thing.
If she loses she can give a concession speech that covers both losses. If she wins then I’ll be shocked.
Imo….ONLY a DOLT would vote for this BLABBERMOUTH media MORON.
Brian Kemp has been a good governor, despite the media trying to crucify him he was great on the Wuhan Virus, it is just unfortunate that a lie from Donald Trump based on trying not to take responsibility for losing the 2020 elections and figuring out how to win a majority of the vote next time has likely handed the governors mansion to Stacey Abrams.
Will you give it a rest, cash your RNC check, and go on vacation? Sorry to bring it home to you, but RINOs are past their sell date, and it doesn’t matter how much offal you pile next to them to make then look preferable.
Danny and Stacey Abrams went to the zoo. Tthe animals at the zoo feed THEM.
she makes o’rourke look smart
She’ll pick up on O’Rourke’s fake-Hispanic scam, and start calling herself Stacey Obnoxious-Cortez.
When will this dog learn that Georgia voters don’t like her!
Neva!!!!!!!
It’s a bit rude to keep picking on her physical appearance. It’s not her girth that is the problem, it’s her tiny intellect that is troubling.
Her girth is a problem. When the box for her IQ was checked, her weight was inadvertently inserted.
If her IQ was her weight, she’d be an anorexic.
Her dishonesty and race baiting are troubling as well
Technically, this is a re-election campaign. Georgians, as seen by Ossof’s and Warwick’s victories, are prone to kamakazie behavior during elections. I congratulate Abraham on her election win, again.
“I’m ‘running’ for Governor because opportunity in our state shouldn’t be determined by zip code, background or access to power”.
And yet this race baiter own 2 homes and is reported to be millionaire a few times over, The black politicians have enslaved their race as much as the slave owners that they criticize, When will the black population see these fakes for what they are ?
Seems like this should be called her reelection as governor, at least by Progressives, because they way they heard it, she won.
