'Morning Joe' co-host Joe Scarborough said Abrams 'revolutionized' Georgia politics
An MSNBC "Morning Joe" panel praised Democrat Stacey Abrams after losing for the second time to Republican Gov. Brian Kemp in Georgia and said she changed Georgia politics for the Democratic Party.
Host Joe Scarborough said Abrams "revolutionized politics in Georgia." Co-host Mika Brzezinski agreed and declared, "she got out the vote."
"I said I’ve never seen anybody with a state wired like Abrams. She lost. We understand that, but talk about how she put Georgia on the map for Democrats," Scarborough continued.
Scarborough turned to MSNBC's Rev. Al Sharpton and compared Abrams' political fortunes to the biblical story of Moses. He said Moses "led Jews to the promised and, but he didn't get there himself."
"He didn't get there himself, but God took care of Moses," Sharpton said. "God said, I will bury Moses, ya'll leave Moses alone and let Joshua keep going, and Stacey will get her due, God will reward Stacey. And anytime you see Ossoff, and Warnock and Biden in Washington, you're looking at the work of Stacey Abrams."

Incumbent Governor Stacey Abrams Loses Bid For Reelection
ATLANTA, GA — Incumbent Georgia Governor Stacey Abrams has lost her bid for reelection tonight, multiple official election sources are reporting. Challenger Brian Kemp managed to overcome an early vote lead to unseat Governor Abrams in a historic flip of the seat, which Abrams has held since 1992. Sources say Abrams just couldn't hold on against a flood of votes on Election Day, which leaned heavily toward the previously unknown Republican challenger. At publishing time, Abrams had given a victorious acceptance speech and had also thanked her supporters for electing her President of Earth.
