Democrats had a very good Election Day 2022, writes TPCarney. If one result is that StaceyAbrams fades out of the public eye, it will be a great night for Democrats.
Abrams has proven extraordinarily good at soaking up media attention and donor money and not particularly good at winning races. She has deprived other, more electable Democrats of funds and even cost Georgia the 2021 Major League Baseball All-Star Game.Since 2016, in the biggest statewide races — president, U.S. Senate, and governor — Republicans have won only two of them: the two where Abrams was the Democratic nominee.
Why is she a drag? Because she's a conspiracy theorist who doesn't talk about what voters care about, but instead caters to a fawning media and a non-representative donor base. Her most famous conspiracy theory, though, was that Kemp stole the 2018 governor's race. She made this claim again and again, and made it a point of doctrine within her party. Her constant claims of widespread voter disenfranchisement were undermined by massive increases in voter registration and turnout in 2018, 2020, and 2022.
Abrams in 2018, outraised Brain Kemp $28 million to $22 million. This year, she outraised Kemp $105 million to $81 million, according to the latest figures.
