Former Georgia state lawmaker and twice-failed gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams said Tuesday that Mississippi and Kentucky are ready to flip blue.
Abrams, who played an important role in mobilizing Democratic support and voters for Georgia's 2020 and 2022 election cycles, believes future races in the two Southern states could favor her party.

"I think that we have an exciting set of elections coming up in Mississippi with (Democrat) Brandon Presley running against a very weakened (Republican Gov.) Tate Reaves," Abrams told MSNBC's Morning Joe.
"Which southern state do you think is ripest for the transformation you helped accomplish in Georgia?"

"I think that (Kentucky Attorney General) Andy Beshear is going to put on a very credible race against (Republican Gov.) Daniel Cameron," she said about Kentucky. "He has been a strong governor, and that is a real opportunity."
Abrams's mobilization push in Georgia is credited with helping secure the elections of Sens. Raphael Warnock (D-GA) and Jon Ossoff (D-GA), as well as President Joe Biden's victory in the state during the 2020 presidential election.
Both gubernatorial races for Mississippi and Kentucky, which are tight, according to polls, are set for this year, and that is where the opportunity lies, according to Abrams.
"Because these are off-year elections, I think it's very important that we pay attention to these two Southern states, that we invest heavily into their success," Abrams said.
Abrams has failed in her two bids to become Georgia's governor, with many on the Right criticizing her for pushing her far-Left ideology.
During her run in 2022, she suggested that getting abortions can help alleviate the burden of inflation, and she has co-chaired organizations funding black activists with ties to the defund the police movement.
"Having children is why you're worried about your price for gas. It's why you're concerned about how much food costs," she said in the lead-up to the 2022 election. "For women, this is not a reductive issue. You can't divorce being forced to carry an unwanted pregnancy from the economic realities of having a child."
Following her comments Tuesday, conservatives on social media were quick to call out the spread of such ideology.
"Bilderberg Operative Stacey Abrams plans to implement same voting operation in Mississippi as she did in Georgia," a tweet replying to the video read. "I guess she just got her marching orders this past weekend."

"We don't want her or her ideas in MS at all," another Twitter user commented. "Georgia can keep her."
"She couldn’t handle GA so she’s moving West ... good luck MS," another tweet read.
