The Georgia Democrat said in an interview shortly after unveiling her new voting rights venture in Las Vegas that her “best value-add in the primaries will be doing the work of fighting voter suppression.” She added: “I will not be running.”

Abrams, who lost a close bid for Georgia governor in 2018, was not seen as likely to join the two dozen other Democrats competing to challenge President Donald Trump next year. But she also hadn’t ruled out a run, fanning speculation she could make a late White House bid.
