The 2016 Democratic National Convention heard several voices from Georgia: Congressman John Lewis; former President Jimmy Carter (via video), and his grandson, former state Sen. Jason Carter; Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed; and State House Minority Leader Stacey Abrams.

In her speech on the first night of the convention, Abrams talked about a “new American majority.” On “Morning Edition,” hours before Hillary Clinton’s acceptance speech, Denis O’Hayer asked Abrams what she meant by a new majority, and what she thinks Clinton needs to do to win over voters who view her with suspicion.
