Two-time Democratic Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams told MSNBC host Nicolle Wallace on Monday that she never denies losing the 2018 game, but instead attempts to redefine the victory to inspire supporters.
Abrams, twice as governor of Georgia and Can be run againrefused to formally recognize Brian Camp (R) in 2018. At the time, she accused then-Georgia Secretary of State Kemp of shaping up voter suppression policies. Since then, she has denied “challenged” the election and admitted Kemp was the legitimate governor “according to the rules set.”
Wallace interviewed Abrams on Monday’s podcast “The Best Man.” After calling Abram “Batha-“, Wallace asked her what it meant when she warned not to regard political victory as “film moments.”

“In 2018, when I lost the election, I was never confused about it,” Abrams said. “I talked to the community and I would say, ‘We won’, it’s just sending people into the paroxysmal of hatred. What I told them was: ‘Look, it doesn’t mean the title doesn’t mean we’re not making progress.’”
The former candidate often debates: “When you try to defend democracy, when you try to serve the people, progress is regarded as victory. Because their goal is your silence. Their goal is your complicity. Their goal is your conquest. We remain free every day. That is progress. ”

Abrams said that if Democrats define victory only by elections, they will continue to lose politically.
“But if we have to wait for this big announcement, like an election, and say ‘This is where we win’ we will continue to lose,” she said. “I said ‘Let’s look for small interfaces to master – the little moments we can make progress because that adds to the actual victory we are trying to achieve.”
