As Georgia holds it breath, Abrams suggested to BuzzFeed News' Profile she would have made a decision by now if she wasn’t selling a book.
Stacey Abrams shed more light on Washington’s efforts to woo her to run for US Senate in Georgia, telling BuzzFeed News'Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer has been “relentless but thoughtful” in his pursuit in getting the Democrat to run for the office she previously declined before her 2018 campaign for governor.
Abrams said she still has yet to make a decision on her future. She said Schumer has also been “very creative about ways that I can add to the body politic, should I be in the office. But he also said, you know, ‘the timetable is yours.’” That expansion would give the eventual nominee a real chance at unseating Republican Sen. David Perdue. Although Abrams has said that Georgia is a battleground state, thousands experienced excruciatingly long lines, and other forms of voter suppression last November.
She spoke further on the delicate balance of needing to tend to her personal business, saying that “very sensitive to the fact that there are those who are eager to get started if I’m not going to run,” but that she’s told people interested in the seat they should run if that’s what they want to do.
