CNN’s Jeff Zeleny: Stacey Abrams ‘Is a Political Loser’ of the Year

EXCERPT:

ZELENY: “And it’s not just the fact that she lost — this was always going to be a difficult race for her — but 'The Atlanta Journal-Constitution' has done some incredible reporting over the last couple of weeks. She raised $103 million, she owes her vendors a million dollars. So, some of her employees and aides who I’ve been speaking to say that the spending just went crazy. They rented a house in Piedmont Park for TikTok videos to be filmed and they just kind of got ahead of themselves with the celebrity and didn’t sort of stick to what brought her. And you always remember like winning candidates, if they were run by Democrats or Republicans, they are tight with the money, Karl Rove was, David Plouffe was, and they seemed to spend a ton of money. It didn’t help her necessarily. So, as she moves to her own future, of course she’ll have a second act, but she at least electorally is a political loser this year."
