Stacey Abrams confirmed Sunday that she would run for office again after taking some time to recuperate from her harrowing less-than-two-point loss to Republican secretary of state Brian Kemp in a race riddled with accusations of voter suppression.
“I’m going to spend the next few years as a private citizen but I do intend to run for office,” Abrams told CNN’s Jake Tapper. “I’m not sure for what or when — I need to take a nap, but once I do, I plan to get back into the ring.”
During a non-concession speech Friday, Abrams accused Kemp of using his office to purge voter rolls and enact “exact match” rules purposely to disenfranchise voters.

Who is Sec of State now?
She should run for president. Every other Democrat is.
Robyn Crittenden. She was appointed by the (retiring) governor, her mentor.
But there’s an election coming up in December to pick a replacement.
Girl, get you a good nap in. Rest up and re-up. We’ll stay right here in your corner until you’re ready to get back in the fight again.
A white couldn’t win in this country. I will be 2x as hard for a black one
