Dems Want Stacey Abrams Ready Just in Case

CLAY: The reason, by the way, that I think the Biden administration is going to try to run again is I think they’re terrified of Kamala Harris being the nominee in ’24 because Trump or any other Republican, I believe, would absolutely destroy her. I think Democrats know that. But I think Democrats also know that they’ve painted themselves into a corner because if Kamala Harris, the sitting vice president, is not the nominee as soon as there is no longer a sitting president, then it’s going to be racist and sexist of the Democratic Party and their allies in the media that Kamala Harris isn’t the choice.

So unless they can find another minority woman who is a better political candidate than Kamala Harris, and, by the way, they would love for that person to be Stacey Abrams. That’s why she’s running in Georgia in 2022. If she wins that Georgia governor’s election, she is going to run for president, I really think that. She is going to run for president in 2024 if Joe Biden’s not running. And if it’s Kamala Harris versus Stacey Abrams in a battle for the nomination, Democrats have an excuse not to pick Kamala Harris; they can go with Stacey Abrams. Is Stacey Abrams more likable and more electable than Kamala Harris? I don’t know. We really haven’t seen Stacey Abrams on the national stage, but that’s why she’s running and essentially as governor in 2022.

Even if she loses she may run for president. Because if she loses she’s probably gonna do the same thing that she did when she lost in 2018 and say the reason why she lost even though she lost by 50,000 votes examine even though it wasn’t particularly close, she’s gonna say is because of voter suppression. That’s the angle she’s gonna play. She never conceded. And she’s become a Democratic heavyweight. That’s how you can tell the hypocrisy of this whole electoral integrity argument. Stacey Abrams is considered a patron saint of the Democrat Party right now. She never conceded and blamed the fact that the race was not fair when she lost in Georgia in 2018. And keep in mind, Stacey Abrams lost the state of Georgia by more votes than Donald Trump lost the presidency by in 2020.

You change, Trump, based on the numbers, and I understand people out there can have their own issues with the tally and the numbers and everything else. But based on the final numbers, Donald Trump lost the 2020 presidential election by around 40,000 votes. If he had won Wisconsin, lost by around 20,000, if he had won Arizona, lost by around 10, and if he had won Georgia, lost by around 10, it would have been a 269 to 269 tie in the Electoral College. And the House of Representatives would have voted and Trump would be your president right now, 40,000 votes. Even with all of the changes for covid, even with all of the mass insanity surrounding the way that we voted in 2020, 40,000 votes.

Stacey Abrams lost the state of Georgia by more votes than that. She never conceded. And she became a Democratic Party stalwart. In fact, she said everything wasn’t fair and that the race was rigged, and she is one of the faces of the Democratic Party right now. That’s how you know this whole push for electoral integrity is really just about trying to win in 2022 and 2024, not because questioning the legitimacy of an election actually undermines the democratic process because if that were true, Democrats spent Donald Trump’s entire presidency ripping the legitimacy of his election in 2016 and arguing it was predicated on Russia influence and collusion, the big lie that they told there. And they also elevated in 2018 Stacey Abrams far above where she otherwise would have been after she lost in that election cycle to Brian Kemp in Georgia.
