Speaking\u2063 on CNN, Abrams emphasized that Harris possesses the necessary message, mission, and policies to\u2062 mobilize voters. Despite the limited\u200d campaign time left, Abrams reiterated that it is crucial to remind voters of the stakes involved, \u200cnot just the past \u2064leadership of Donald \u200bTrump \u200bbut also the brighter future envisioned under Harris.<\/p>\n<p>Abrams was in Georgia to support Harris during her first campaign event as the presumptive Democratic nominee. The event featured\u200c notable figures including Atlanta&#8217;s mayor and \u200bU.S. \u2064senators. When questioned about any regrets regarding the controversy over \u200bher \u20622018 election loss to \u2064Brian Kemp, Abrams defended\u200d her stance \u200cby \u2062pointing\u2063 out legal limitations that prevented rectifying \u200dthe election process flaws, stating the \u2064courts acknowledged issues without deeming the outcome justifiable.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Abrams now says Harris can &lsquo;absolutely&rsquo; beat Trump after Biden bowed out<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_1717954\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>Former <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/georgia\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>Georgia<\/a> gubernatorial candidate <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/stacey-abrams\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>Stacey Abrams<\/a> argued that Vice President <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/kamala-harris\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>Kamala Harris<\/a> is &ldquo;absolutely&rdquo; capable of winning the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/2024-elections\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>2024 presidential election<\/a> despite President <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/joe-biden\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>Joe Biden<\/a> leaving the race on short notice.<\/p>\n<p>Abrams, who also ran for president in 2020, had been asked if Harris could drum up enough support with less than 100 days left before the election, following President Joe <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/campaigns\/presidential\/3064997\/joe-biden-bows-out-of-2024-presidential-race\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Biden's decision to drop out\">Biden&rsquo;s decision to drop out<\/a>.
