Stacey Abrams Brushes Off, Tries To Minimize Trump's Election Win: 'No Seismic Shift'

Posted • January 1, 2025: It would appear that Stacey Abrams, Georgia governor and President of United Earth, isn't denying the 2024 presidential election. We were expecting her to cite all of the new "Jim Crow 2.0" voter suppression laws passed since 2020, like Kamala Harris voters collapsing from dehydration in line to vote because campaigns weren't allowed to hand out free water bottles and food. But talking to MSNBC's Chris Hayes this week, Abrams came right out and said it: "Donald Trump won the election." She tried to minimize his victory however she could, even though Trump won all seven battleground states in a clean sweep. Stacey Abrams says Donald Trump election wasn't a "seismic shift." When Abrams talks to Hayes, we listen. (Late in the video) - This is what she had to say: “Donald Trump won the election, but it wasn’t a landslide,” Abrams, who lost two election bids for governor in the Peach State, said in an interview Monday with MSNBC’s Chris Hayes.

“It was an evenly divided nation. He got more people, but this was not the seismic shift where 57, 58 percent of America said no.” - “It was less than 50 percent of the electorate who said this is what we want,” she added. -- It was fewer than 50 percent of the electorate who voted for Trump … it was only 49.8 percent. Probably the biggest takeaways from this story are 1) Stacey Abrams is still around, 2) Chris Hayes still has a show, and 3) it's New Year's Eve and they're still talking about the election. And yet every county in the country moved right. An ACTUAL shift. Hhhhmmm. Disagreeing about the election being a mandate, a seismic shift, or a landslide is all they have at this point. We might as well let them believe it, since they are going to be quite miserable for at least the next 4 years. -- Not one county in America flipped from red to blue. Noted elections expert Stacey Abrams weighs in. Denial is a powerful thing. (…)
