Georgia' Stacey Abrams doesn't rule out White House bid as she declines to run for Senate
Stacey Abrams, who lost narrowly in her bid to be Georgia's governor last year, will not challenge Republican Sen. David Perdue in the state's 2020 U.S. Senate race – but she's not ruling out a run for the White House.
Stacey Abrams, Former Georgia Gubernatorial Candidate, at the National Action Network convention in New York City.Democrat Stacey Abrams, who lost narrowly in her bid to be Georgia's governor last year, will not challenge Republican Sen. David Perdue in the state's 2020 U.S. Senate race – but she's not ruling out a run for the White House.
Her decision leaves the Democratic primary field in Georgia wide open. Abrams only lost the governor's race in the recently red state by about 1.5 percentage points to Republican Gov. Brian Kemp, leading many to see her as the best challenger to Perdue statewide. Senate Republicans hold a 53-47 majority in the Senate, meaning Democrats would have to flip four seats to win control. The Senate GOP campaign arm cheered Abrams' decision on Tuesday.
