DeSantis made a jab at Abrams \u2014 a progressive who narrowly lost the 2018 gubernatorial race to Governor Brian Kemp (R-GA) \u2014 by comparing her to communist Cuban dictator Ra\u00fal Castro.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cIf Stacey Abrams is elected governor of Georgia, I just want to be honest, that will be a cold war between Florida and Georgia,\u201d he said. \u201cI can\u2019t have Castro to my south and Abrams to my north, that would be a disaster. So I hope you guys take care of that and we\u2019ll end up in good shape.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Castro succeeded his brother, Fidel Castro, as Cuba\u2019s leader in 2011. Ra\u00fal Castro stepped down as first secretary of the Communist Party of Cuba in 2021 and was replaced by Miguel D\u00edaz-Canel.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Abrams <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/breaking-stacey-abrams-announces-she-is-running-for-georgia-governor-in-2022\"><span>announced<\/span><\/a><span> her intention to run in the 2022 race at the end of last year. \u201cRegardless of the pandemic or the storms, the obstacles in our way or the forces determined to divide us, my job has been to just put my head down and keep working toward one Georgia,\u201d she said. \u201cBecause in the end, we are one Georgia.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Among other facets of her <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/staceyabrams.com\/policy\/#healthcare\"><span>platform<\/span><\/a><span>, Abrams promises to implement \u201chigh-quality, affordable child care\u201d for children from kindergarten through fourth grade, to \u201ccultivate school programs that proactively support LGBTQ+ kids,\u201d and to \u201cdefend the rights of women and families\u201d to exercise their \u201creproductive rights.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Abrams has spent the better part of the past four years insisting that she actually <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/interactive\/2019\/04\/28\/magazine\/stacey-abrams-election-georgia.html\"><span>won<\/span><\/a><span> Georgia\u2019s last gubernatorial race.

They are not entitled to our justice. They are not entitled to our vote.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cI come from a state where I was not entitled to become the governor, but as an American citizen and a citizen of Georgia, I\u2019m going to fight for every person who has the right to vote to be able to cast that vote,\u201d she continued.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest growing conservative media companies for breaking news, investigative reporting, sports, podcasts, in-depth analysis, books, and entertainment for a reason: because we believe in what we do.
