'We are asking for basic human rights to be made whole and real in the United States,” said Abrams at the Women in the World summit.
Stacey Abrams, the Democratic nominee in 2018's photo-finish gubernatorial election in Georgia, on Thursday pushed back on the notion that her party is becoming increasingly leftist, insisting that health care access is a basic human idea.
Abrams continued that “having access to healthcare is not a leftist idea, it’s a human idea” that has been talked about since the presidency of Harry Truman in the 1940s. Abrams urged the audience to “stop buying into this notion that because it is different from now, it is somehow normatively outside the box.”
Though she narrowly lost her gubernatorial bid by fewer than 55,000 votes to Georgia Secretary of State Brian Kemp in the November 2018 election, Abrams emerged as one of the most prominent voices of the Democratic Party and was the first black woman to deliver a response to the president’s State of the Union address.
