Democratic candidate for governor: Georgia is a blue state that's 'a little confused'

The candidate who could become the nation’s first black woman governor said Wednesday that her home state of Georgia is a Democratic state at heart, even though it’s been a red state in the last several presidential elections.

“I think that we are a blue state, we’re just a little confused,” Stacey Abrams told CNN Wednesday morning, just hours after she won the state primary Tuesday night. “We haven’t had candidates who have done the work of really lifting up every voice… We have a new opportunity because Georgia has changed dramatically in the last 15 years.”
