‘Georgia’s the reason we’ve got Joe Biden’
DALTON — As she wound down her campaign speech to hundreds of supporters piled into a community center’s gym, Stacey Abrams asked the North Georgia crowd to look back to 2020 to remember the energy and enthusiasm that helped Democrats score upset wins.
“Georgia is the reason we’ve got Joe Biden,” she said to a burst of applause. “The reason that we’ve got billions of dollars in our coffers, money that’s being spent to help keep us afloat.”
While other Democratic candidates in Georgia are keeping their distance from Biden and his low approval ratings, Abrams is following a different course. She’s embracing both her alliance with the president and the legislative agenda he has championed.
With Gov. Brian Kemp slightly ahead in polls, Abrams wants to rekindle the coalition of liberal Democrats and independent swing voters that powered the president’s victory in 2020 as her opponent blames high inflation and the slowing U.S. economy on the “Biden-Abrams agenda.”

Abrams is responsible for much of the get out the vote scams that got Biden elected.
But if you accept the fact that he had to get nominated first, then Jim Clyburn is responsible for Biden being nominated.
From there, lots of factors. Aunt Stacey included.
