Stacey Abrams, a two-time loser in her bid for governor of Georgia’s Democratic Party, is allegedly considering a run for a seat on the Federal Communications Commission. GOP legislator Herschel Walker and Georgia Governor Brian Kemp are concerned about this (FCC).
Walker has indicated he would vote for “his mentor,” Stacey Abrams if he had to choose between her and Sen. Raphael Warnock’s (D-GA) reelection. Breitbart News was the first news outlet to report the remark.
Stacey Abrams isn’t somebody Georgia should be pushing. Walker has promised to continue voting against the wishes of the people of Georgia in favor of his master, Stacey Abrams, should Raphael Warnock be elected.
The polls collected before the election show that Warnock is ahead of Walker by a small margin. As a member of the Senate Commerce Committee, Warnock has a voice in which nominations for the FCC commission move on to a total Senate vote.
As a contender for Georgia Senate, Walker said, “the people of Georgia deserve better than the dumb ideologies of Warnock and Abrams,” and vowed to “block Stacey from traveling to Washington” if she were elected.
Walker’s accusations stem from a Thursday item in Communications Daily, which stated that lobbyists claimed Abrams was “lobbying the White House to be Biden’s next FCC candidate.”
Partisan deadlock at the FCC has kept it idle for almost a year (two are affiliated with the Republicans, two are connected with the Democrats, and one seat is vacant). Since President Joe Biden’s far-left candidate Gigi Sohn failed to win over enough Democratic votes in the Senate, “names of additional prospective contenders to follow Sohn are circulating,” as reported by Communications Daily.
Abrams is predicted to become an industry leader shortly by S&P Global Market Intelligence. The spokesman for the Georgia Democrat said that, contrary to Fox Business’s assertions, she has “not applied for” or “sought out” the position.
The statement by Abrams does not entirely refute the accusation, as Biden could still appoint someone without the individual having “applied for” or “sought” the office.
While Abrams’ name has been floated as a potential presidential candidate for some time, some people are surprised to see her enter politics through the Federal Communications Commission (FCC).
Even if the Biden administration proposed Abrams for the FCC, Breitbart News’ Sean Moran said, “she may have an uphill battle because most FCC commissioner nominees have considerable telecommunications background.”
Georgia Governor Brian Kemp (R), who only narrowly defeated Abrams this year in the gubernatorial race, has endorsed Walker as the “abundantly obvious” choice for those who want to keep Abrams out of office.
For Kemp, “Herschel Walker will vote with hardworking Georgians instead of Joe Biden, and he can be on the front line to ensure Stacey Abrams is nowhere near making choices for the federal government that will affect the lives of Americans everywhere,” Kemp said. There’s no contest in the Senate.
