Abrams slams GA opponent over 'voter suppression' [View all]

[JHan]

Democratic gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams joins Tapper to discuss her opponent's voter registration laws, which stalled 53,000 voter registrations, Democrats strategy for winning midterms, and the stakes behind her historic election.

1) She points out that the issue with Kemp is his pattern of behavior aimed at suppressing votes. "When you know that what you're doing is having a disproportionate effect on PoC and Women and you do it anyway, that erodes the public trust in the system."

"The miasma of fear that is created through voter suppression is as much about terrifying people about trying to vote as it is about blocking their ability to do so"

2) Stacy repeated talking points on healthcare ( "expanding Medicaid is not "Progressive" but a good economic decision" - in response to Tapper's question about whether her progressive approach is a reflection of your typical Georgia voter )

3) "The best approach for Democrats is to vote and be engaged in politics."
