Earlier this week, some Democrats bristled that it appeared Klobuchar was snubbing Abrams, who became a national political figure during her campaign for governor last year.

Long little more than a fundraising stop for White House contenders, Georgia was not seriously contested by Democrats over the past few presidential cycles.

But last year’s narrow elections, coupled with Republican defeats across the Atlanta suburbs, has energized state Democrats.

Just about every presidential hopeful visited Georgia last year to stump with Abrams — and lay the groundwork for their campaigns — as Democrats ready to compete for the state’s 16 electoral votes in 2020.
