Stacey Abrams says she is worth nearly $3.2 million, which is approximately $3.1 million more than the $109,000 she said she was worth before running for Governor of Georgia as a Democrat in 2018.
The Associated Press claims that Abrams’ skyrocketing net worth is one less thing for Republicans to complain about.
When Abrams “first ran” in 2018, the news agency explains, “her lackluster personal finances and a hefty bill from the IRS gave Republicans fodder to question how she could managed a state budget when she struggled with her own debts.”
Now a multi-millionaire, “that’s no longer an issue,” the news agency boasts on Abrams’ behalf.
Abrams’ latest disclosures from March say “she’s worth $3.17 million” as of this year.
However, the Associated Press notes that her meteoric rise in wealth has made her a target for different reasons.
A spokesman for the Republican Party said she uses her campaign “as a platform for her own financial gain,” and 45th President Donald Trump noted that she lives “in these gorgeous multi-multi-million dollar houses.”
Abrams, who recently became canonized in the Star Trek universe as President of United Earth, is currently running unopposed for the Democrat nomination to once again run for Governor of Georgia. Now, however, she may face easier opposition as her former opponent, Republican Gov. Brian Kemp, has earned the scorn of Trump.
Kemp repeatedly refused to help Trump contest the 2020 election in his state, and many believe that someone from either his office or the office of his Secretary of State leaked an inflammatory phone call in which some falsely claimed Trump asked Kemp to manufacture votes.
Trump ultimately promised to help Kemp’s primary opponent, and threw his support behind former Sen. David Perdue when he declared his candidacy.
Showing his commitment to Georgia politics, Trump also endorsed Vernon Jones’ campaign for the U.S. House at the same time. Jones was previously running for governor, until he was asked by the Trump camp to move aside for Perdue.
After the 2020 election, Trump promised to travel to Georgia to campaign for Kemp’s opponent. He kept this promise with his first rally with Perdue, Jones, and other Georgia Republicans – but not Kemp – late last month.
