WASHINGTON — “We won,” Stacey Abrams told progressives gathered in Washington for the annual Center for American Progress Ideas Conference, which functions as a casting call for potential national candidates.
Her eagerness was apparent on Wednesday morning, with Abrams coming out on the stage before Neera Tanden, the president of the Center for American Progress, had finished with her introduction. Abrams called efforts to make voting more difficult, which are in contravention of the Voting Rights Act, “the single most threatening aspect of our election system” and “the worst part of what’s happening in our democracy.”
Abrams argued that “when we refuse to engage in the conversation of identity politics, when we refuse to acknowledge that we see you, and we understand you, and we understand the barriers that you face, then what we are met with is a lack of trust.” She added that “no reason to engage and no reason to show up.”
