Stacey Abrams hints at another run in first speech since governor's race defeat

In her first public speech since losing the race for governor, Stacey Abrams dropped a strong suggestion she's either taking aim for David Perdue in two years or Brian Kemp in four.

At what was billed as a surprise Friday appearance at the TedWomen 2018 talk in Palm Springs, Calif., Abrams urged the crowd to ask themselves three questions about their goals: What do I want, why do I want it, and how do I get it.

As for the third part – how to get it – she was more circumspect. From the TedBlog:

To the first question, she said she wants “justice, because poverty is immoral and a stain on our nation.” To the second, she said it should be something that “doesn’t allow you to sleep at night unless you’re dreaming about it.”

<i>The obstacles — the debt, the fear, the fatigue — aren't insurmountable, Abrams says, but there's more work to be done.</i>

<i>"I am moving forward knowing what is in my past. I know the obstacles they have for me. I'm fairly certain they're energizing and creating new obstacles now," Abrams says. "They've got four years to figure it out. Maybe two."</i>
