Stacey Abrams at Celebrity ‘Rock the Vote’ Concert: We Win Georgia to ‘Change America’David Ng 4 Dec 2020
Georgia is ground zero in the battle for the balance of power in Washington, D.C., as control of the U.S. Senate now hinges on the outcome of the two Senate runoff races in the Peach State. With the Senate majority leadership within his reach, Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) recently declared, “Now we take Georgia, and then we change America.†Stacey Abrams is working overtime to make Schumer’s goal a reality. The failed gubernatorial candidate teamed up with a slew of pop and Broadway singers including Justin Timberlake, John Legend, and Audra McDonald for a livestream concert on Thursday to raise money for her left-wing Georgia voting initiative.
The end goal of the Georgia runoffs is to “change America,†Abrams reportedly said. Her words echo those of Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY), who has also said that the runoffs are about changing America. “Now we take Georgia, and then we change America,†he said.
“Rock the Runoff,†hosted by Scandal star Kerry Washington, served as a fundraiser for Stacey Abrams’ Fair Fight PAC, whose stated goal is to “mitigate voter suppression†and to make sure “every American has a voice in our election system.†Abrams has blamed voter suppression on her electoral loss of Gov. Brian Kemp (R) in 2018, though she has never formally conceded.
The official invitation states: “COVID-19 has fundamentally altered the way Americans work, live, and vote. Ahead of the January 5 runoff election, we have been fighting to ensure that Georgians will be able to cast their ballot and have the resources they need to vote.â€
Kerry Washington reportedly helped kick off the concert by alleging that voting rights have “been historically withheld from minority groups,†according to the Hollywood Reporter.
