'Stacey Abrams doesn't have a Black man problem,' said the founder of the Black Male Voter Project in Georgia. 'The Democratic Party has a Black man problem.'
The idea wasn't far-fetched: Abrams, who lost by 1.4% and less than 55,000 votes in their first matchup, knew she needed to squeeze every vote possible out of communities of color, and she had a track record of building real organizing power in the state through the rise of groups like New Georgia Project and Fair Fight.
"Stacey can't win without Black and brown voters," the source said."You also can't do last-minute outreach to them and call it voter of color outreach." Pastor Jamal Bryant speaks during Stacey Abrams' visit to the New Black Wall Street Market on September 18, 2022 in Stonecrest, Georgia.Abrams acknowledges how important the votes of Black men are to her campaign.
Two polls out Tuesday showed Abrams behind by sizable margins, with a Marist poll showing her down by six points, and an Atlanta-Journal Constitution poll having her down by eight. It also said it has 250 community captains across the state who are solely dedicated to organizing their communities and encouraging them to vote for Abrams.
The Abrams campaign said she has not shied away from having tough conversations, including at barbershops, in conversations with local well-known Black men, as well as taking her message to non-traditional crowds, such as the 85 South Show and Butter ATL, two very large Georgia cultural outlets.
