Stacey Abrams is the mother – and strategist – of the blue wonder of Georgia. She redesigned the Democratic Party: deeply rooted in communities and with a multi-ethnic coalition.
When the Americans went to bed on Wednesday evening, they had seen images that no one would have thought possible hours before. Men dressed in furs, with horns on their heads. Devastated offices of politicians. A young woman with blood gushing from her mouth on the floor of the Capitol in Washington, DC
On Wednesday morning they woke up to completely different news. The southern state of Georgia voted – two Democrats. After the Democratic candidate, Joe Biden’s narrow victory in the state in the presidential election, the two Democrats Raphael Warnock and Jon Ossoff also secured Senate seats in a runoff election on Tuesday.
Even after Biden’s success, nobody had expected that. But the reason for the Democrats’ success has a name. His name is neither Biden nor Warnock nor Ossoff. It’s Stacey Abrams.
