Star Trek makes Stacey Abrams president of United Earth - and stokes conservative anger
The Georgia gubernatorial candidate and voting rights campaigner Stacey Abrams has been made president – of United Earth.
The honour, which a leading conservative website said Abrams did not deserve, was bestowed by the Paramount+ TV series Star Trek: Discovery, in its season four finale.
Abrams is a self-confessed Star Trek superfan. In 2019, she told the New York Times she binged on episodes during her last run for governor.
“I love Voyager and I love Discovery and of course I respect the original,” she said, “but I revere The Next Generation.”
Michelle Paradise, executive producer of Star Trek: Discovery, told Variety the show decided it needed a figure of suitable gravitas.
“When the time came to start talking about the president of Earth,” she said, “it seemed like, ‘Well, who better to represent that than her?”
