Stacey Abrams: Voting Rights Push ‘Not About Partisanship — This Is About Patriotism’

Democratic Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams sounded off on the push to pass voting rights legislation on Wednesday.

Abrams told MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” that expanding voting rights “is not about partisanship.” Instead, she asserted it “is about patriotism.”

“I’m working very closely with members of the U.S. Senate to ensure that they both understand the urgency of the moment but that we recognize the complications of the structure of the Senate,” Abrams outlined. “And that’s why we need to frame this as restoration of the Senate. This is not about breaking tradition. It is about protecting the fundamentals of our nation.”
