Georgia attorney Stacey Abrams announced her second run for governor Wednesday, three years into her first imaginary term. “I’m running for Governor because opportunity in our state shouldn’t be determined by zip code, background or access to power,” Abrams wrote in a tweet featuring an announcement video. The Democrat and former Georgia House leader lost to Republican Brian Kemp by less than 2 percent in 2018, a hostile year for Republicans who lost control of the lower chamber on Capitol Hill. Now Abrams, a polarizing figure who refused to concede that her 2018 race was free and fair despite no evidence for her claims, is running in a political climate favorable to Republicans excited at a rematch. “The one thing Georgia Republicans — and most independents — can agree on is that Stacey Abrams would be a disaster for the Peach State,” one Republican familiar with the race told The Federalist.
