DuBose Porter, former chair of the Georgia Democratic Party, told me she is “brilliant,” praise that comes in spite of what some view as a relatively thin political résumé. In her runs for the Georgia legislature and governor, Abrams built a coalition that excited this new Georgia. These are the people who shaped Stacey Abrams’s notions of power and her Southern black political identity. Fair Fight PAC, with more than 120,000 individual donors and about $24 million in fundraising, works on voter protection with state Democratic parties. Before hanging up, we return to that subject, and Abrams again stresses her vision of political power for all people.
