I’d heard some talk from local Democratic campaign staff who’d spoken with some Georgia Biden-Harris campaign staff, that Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms was thinking of running. However, that was before the general election.

Stacey Abrams would be an awesome Governor! 🗳🍑🗳

Whether it's run as Governor or accept a place in the Biden/Harris administration, she will be brilliant at whatever she chooses to do.

would be a great governor. I would love to see Kemp hand over the keys to GA or run away from her inauguration.

are responsible for our victories in 2020, as she also says.

Stacey's work these past two years has been important. Her biggest contribution of all, though, one none of the others could make, was to focus the state and nation's, and international, attention on the blatant election theft that our current illicit governor felt was necessary to keep her from becoming our first woman and first black governor 2018 -- along with her well publicized exhaustion of all legal avenues (under laws written by Republicans) to challenge subversion of voter rights, and her righteous refusal to concede.

I suppose some credit should be given to uncharged criminal Brian Kemp as well.

No, no, I'm not ....

You just know Kemp is going to regret stealing the 2018 election from Stacy.
