Stacey Abrams to give Democratic response to State of the Union

https://www.politico.com/story/2019/01/29/stacey-abrams-to-give-democratic-response-to-state-of-the-union-1134068

Stacey Abrams will deliver the Democratic response to President Donald Trump’s State of the Union address next week, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer said Tuesday.

Abrams drew national attention as the Democratic nominee for Georgia governor in a contested race against Brian Kemp. Abrams eventually conceded, but blasted Kemp, who was secretary of state, for how he handled the election and said he pushed suppressed voter suppression efforts.
