I don’t think Stacey Abrams has a great record at winning elections in Georgia. Do you think she’ll be helpful in these runoffs?

She doesn't need to get elected to help the movements.

Well that was the case pre-2016 election. 2017-2020 Democrats did very well in special elections. It remains to be seen what happens to democratic enthusiasm under a Biden presidency.
