As Democrats inched closer to flipping both of Georgia\u2019s Senate seats from the incumbent Republicans, credit began to flow to one person broadly acknowledged as being most responsible for Georgia\u2019s new status as a Democratic state: Stacey Abrams.<\/p>\n

Ms. Abrams, the former minority leader of the Georgia state House, has spent a decade building a Democratic political infrastructure in the state, first with her New Georgia Project and now with Fair Fight, the voting rights organization she founded in the wake of her losing campaign for governor in 2018.<\/p>\n

Late Tuesday night, Ms. Abrams came close to declaring victory in a tweet that praised the thousands of \u201corganizers, volunteers, canvassers & tireless groups\u201d who helped rebuild the state\u2019s Democratic Party from the rump it was when she became the state House minority leader in 2011.<\/p>\n
