State of the Union speech will focus on 'unity' and 'industry' says Trump as he attacks Democrats for border security stubbornness (but wishes Stacey Abrams good luck with her response)
Former Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams will deliver the Democratic response to President Donald Trump's State of the Union address
President Trump said he doesn't know her but 'respects' her on Thursday, having made demeaning remarks about her during her campaign
Claimed a theme of his message would be 'unity' and immediately proceeded to attack his political opponents
Abrams garnered national attention in her bid to become the first female, African American governor of Georgia in a contest that went down to the wire
She lost by 1 percent of the vote and her name is being floated the U.S. Senate and even president
In choosing Abrams to deliver the rebuttal, Democrats gave her a platform to increase her national name ID
