Stacey Abrams says if Black people "vote our actual power, I will be the next governor of Georgia." Abrams has kicked off campaign number two to become leader of the southern state. In 2018 she narrowly lost to republican Brian Kemp.
Abrams is vying to become Georgia's first Black and first Female governor.
When asked what she'd share with those who feel their vote doesn't count, Abrams tells Audacy Atlanta's Big Tigger Morning Show that "voting is not magic, it is medicine." She says that even if you're disappointed by election after election "when you take your medicine over and over again, you get better. But, when you stop taking it, you definitely get worse."
According to Abrams, "there are more than 1.3 million new voters on the rolls and if they show up, we win."
The former state lawmaker who qualified for run for governor last week, has now kicked off her "One Georgia Tour" of various towns and cities.
The May 24th Primary election will pit former U.S. Senator David Perdue against incumbent Governor Kemp. Abrams, as of now running unapposed, expects that she will be the Democrat facing whoever is the victor in that GOP contest.
