Failed Democratic Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams isn’t ruling out a third run for governor of the Peach State, and said in a Tuesday interview that true Christians should have left-leaning views.
"I truly have not made any decisions and that is in part because there's an urgency to 2025 that we cannot ignore," Abrams told NPR, concerning whether she'll run again. "My focus right now is on how do we ensure that we have free and fair elections in 2026? There's a lot of hope being pinned on the '26 midterms."
Abrams was the minority leader of the Georgia House of Representatives from 2011 to 2017, and lost the 2018 Georgia governor's race to current Gov. Brian Kemp. She also lost to him again in a 2022 rematch.
She also told NPR that true Christians should be progressive, and that it was her responsibility to help immigrants and the dispossessed.
"I watched my parents live those values that education matters, that faith matters, and that helping people matters," Abrams said. "And for me, those are the values that guide me, my faith first and foremost," she added.
"I cannot call myself a Christian and not believe that it is my responsibility to help the stranger, to help immigrants, to help the dispossessed. I cannot say that my faith justifies the venom that has been turned against the LGBTQIA community, the way we have demonized the transgender community. I cannot be a woman of faith who has read the Bible and just conveniently pick the passages I like," Abrams continued.
