Sample Book Insights:
#1 Georgia House minority leader Stacey Abrams was ready for Trump in 2020, and she had been preparing for this moment since she was a teenager. She’d spent the past three years building a voting rights group, a fundraising operation, and a team of aides and advisers to help her not-so-quietly make senior party officials aware that she was running for governor.
#2 In Georgia, Democrats were in need of a new leader after years of demoralizing defeats. Stacey Abrams was known for her outspokenness and ability to energize Democrats, but she was also known as a behind-the-scenes operator who was skilled at picking apart Republican talking points.
#3 Georgia had always been a one-party state dominated by Democrats, and this remained the case throughout most of the twentieth century. Black leaders who tried to influence the Democratic Party were often looked down upon.
#4 Georgia was a prime example of how the Democrats’ armor could be pierced. In 1980, Carter easily won Georgia, but was shellacked in much of the rest of the country. In 1990, a congenial congressman and onetime Atlanta councilman named Wyche Fowler rebuilt the Democratic alliance between rural white conservatives and Black voters to defeat Mattingly.
