In 2018, I lost that race by 54,723 votes. Since that time, Georgia has added 1.6 million new voters. That means there's a new voter pool that is modeled about 53% to be Democratic.

It feels like deja vu. Stacey Abrams is running for governor of Georgia, again … against Brian Kemp, again. The two last faced off in a heated contest in 2018, with Kemp’s win hanging on 54,723 votes. This time, he’s an incumbent and even further ahead in the polls. So, Kara asks Abrams: what is different now?
