Stacey Abrams is the Hillary Clinton of Georgia, reportedly hoping to win another race for governor even though she’s been beaten twice before.
It’s being reported that she’s seriously considering a run now that the gubernatorial seat is up for grabs again:
Democrat Stacey Abrams is seriously considering a third-straight run for Georgia governor in 2026, a source familiar confirmed to Fox News Digital.Abrams, a former Democratic Party leader in the Georgia state legislature and a nationally known voting-rights advocate, narrowly lost to now-Gov. Brian Kemp in the 2018 gubernatorial election. She lost the 2022 rematch to Kemp by nearly eight points.
Kemp, the popular conservative governor, is term limited and cannot seek reelection in 2026. The Cook Political Report, a top nonpartisan political handicapper, ranked the race to succeed Kemp in the battleground state a “toss up” – teeing up a likely competitive race in the Peach State.
Republican Attorney General Chris Carr has already announced his gubernatorial campaign in November 2024. Lt. Gov. Burt Jones is rumored to be mulling his own bid for the Republican nomination. Campaign filings reported by WABE earlier this year revealed that Jones raised $1.7 million for a leadership committee – about half a million behind Carr.
On the Democratic side, Georgia state senator Jason Esteves announced his campaign for governor earlier this week. Rep. Lucy McBath, who had launched an exploratory committee for her own gubernatorial run, announced she was suspending her bid to support her husband, following complications from a cancer diagnosis.
The news that Abrams is considering a third run for governor was first reported by the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
Georgia cannot and must not allow Abrams to win in this state. She’s lost twice, thankfully, but now that Kemp is term-limited a strong Republican needs to run a great campaign to defeat her for a third time. She would be a disaster for Georgia.
