An aide for Abrams told The New York Times that she will be unable to attend the event in Atlanta. Abrams is currently running to unseat Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp (R), whom she ran against in the 2018 gubernatorial race.
What kind of ‘conflict’ takes precedence over an invitation from a sitting president who ‘won’ the state of Georgia? I’ll tell you, a fake one. She’s refusing Biden’s invitation because he’s supremely unpopular all around the country, especially in her state. He’s toxic and she doesn’t want to get any of it on her.
