Georgia's Stacey Abrams rocketed to such political stardom after her narrow 2018 loss to Republican Gov. Brian Kemp that Democrats essentially cleared the field for her bid for governor this year.
But now that Abrams’ campaign has begun, she’s campaigning in an environment that’s different and in some ways trickier than what she faced four years ago.
In her first high-profile stumble of this campaign, Abrams apologized on CNN Tuesday for having removed her mask for a picture with masked school children — a photo she had shared on Twitter and quickly deleted. Republicans widely criticized the photo as a hypocritical violation of the school’s mask policy.
The backlash underscored both Democrats’ struggles with pandemic politics and the intense spotlight that’s now on Abrams compared to 2018, when Republicans and many in the national media paid less attention to the former state Democratic House leader at the outset of her first statewide campaign.

The Ga general assembly is way too in bed with the liberal a$$holes at the chamber of commerce. And ballot harvesting was illegal at the last election but it went on anyway
Why didn’t Abram’s visit a school with more black kids in the classes?
She still needs stupid white city liberals
High crime rates are starting to 'wake up' white liberal bimbos and their and their 'men'.
It's not hopeless.
Too bad, so sad.
Although I think that the media is being unfair to Stacy Abrams here. Maybe when she took off her mask she held her breath, like L.A. Mayor Garcetti claimed that he did when he took a maskless photo with Magic Johnson (I mean, he didn’t want to catch AIDS). And to those who coaim that Abrams couldn’t have possibly held her breath for thaf long, I looked it up, and hjppos can old their breath underwater for a full five minutes.
Sadness
She was doing it for the children
;-D
