'Will not be a candidate': Stacey Abrams rules out run for Senate in Georgia

Stacey Abrams swiftly dashed Democratic hopes she would run for the Senate in the open seat created by the retirement of the GOP’s Johnny Isakson.

After narrowly losing the 2018 Georgia gubernatorial race, Abrams, 45, became a national figure with her statements about voter suppression and claims Republicans had stolen the election. She has been floated as a possible vice-presidential running mate for the Democrats in 2020, especially if a white male secures the presidential nomination.
