Stacey Abrams Looks For A Winning Strategy In Loss

After her narrow defeat in the Georgia governor’s race, Stacey Abrams is being recruited to run for Senate, weighing another campaign for governor and even hearing overtures from prominent activists who want her to run for president. Yet for someone with so many options, there’s no obvious next step for Abrams.

Stacey Abrams is a woman in demand.

Months removed from her surprisingly narrow defeat in the Georgia governor’s race, Abrams is being heavily recruited to run for Senate, weighing another campaign for governor and even hearing overtures from prominent activists who want her to run for president.

It’s a remarkable turn for a woman who, two years ago, was leading the vastly outnumbered House Democratic caucus at the Georgia Capitol. She now bounces from political gatherings in Las Vegas and Washington to debating societies in Oxford, England, not to mention an Atlanta union hall where she delivered this year’s Democratic response to President Donald Trump’s State of the Union.
