Former Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams downplayed President-elect Donald Trump's victory, claiming that it was not a 'seismic shift' or a 'landslide.'
Stacey Abrams said on MSNBC Monday that President-elect Donald Trump’s victory did not indicate a 'seismic shift.' 'We keep misremembering what happened in November. Yes, Donald Trump won the election, but it wasn’t a landslide,' Abrams told MSNBC’s Chris Hayes. 'It was an evenly divided nation. He got more people, but this was not the seismic shift where 57, 58 percent of America said no,' the two-time failed Georgia gubernatorial candidate said.
During the interview, Abrams also reflected on the late President Jimmy Carter's legacy by discussing 'decency' in politics. She implored Democrats to 'expand the ambit of decency' to bring more people into the party. 'I think decency is a choice. It’s a difficult choice, but one that, when viewed authentically, has this effect of boosting confidence and boosting morale.
