    Now both GA senate seats will be Democrat targets. Will Stacy Abrams change her mind and run?

    He should not have been in there with Parkinsons.

    Honestly looks like Trump has early onset as well.

    Without Abrams, I don't see the Dems winning a seat.

    Someone should tell her that the best way to help and protect voters is by holding some kind of office.

    Georgia is one of the few states that Trump still has a postive rating of +2, so hard to win in that environment - unless the African American vote turns out.

    Sorry for Mr. Isakson.

    Interesting to see how Georgia is changing politically.

    Which is why Abrams not running is a major blow. The black community was super excited about her. Georgia experienced massive voter turnout last year. The turnout was on par with a Presidential cycle.

    Ms. Stacey needs to take this opportunity and run.

    Can we just trade Georgia for Greenland?

    Story involving Isakson from last year that showed that the senate can occasionally push partisanship aside... hopefully things change in the future when this isn't such an unusual or newsworthy thing...

    Abrams has until 6 March to file so she’s got some time. Allows her to see if Biden still plans on making her the VP or if Biden goes in another direction/falls behind.

    Unless she is counting on (1) Biden winning and (2) Biden not surviving his first term, a Senator Abrams (D+1) would have a much bigger impact on America.
