Georgia governor candidate Stacey Abrams, a Democrat, went on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” and said abortion is an economic issue. But she didn’t claim that having abortions would solve women’s, or families’, inflation-sparked financial challenges.
Obama had repeatedly tried to get the message across that "Democrats should be less judgemental," and should "move away from those that want to pull them into sort of a ‘woke’ culture.""Morning Joe" co-host Mika Brzezinski:
"We know that for families that have faced the issue of inflation, they care about housing prices. They care about whether they can afford to go to the doctor. That’s why I’m fighting for Medicaid expansion in Georgia. And why we’re having conversations about a governor who makes his money in real estate and will not spend $400 million in eviction rental assistance to keep people in their homes.
"This governor has refused to address the cost of housing. He has said that he doesn’t want to upset investors by giving local governments control over helping control housing prices. I want to make sure they have the help they need. He says that it’s OK because he doesn’t want to upset these investors that 30% of housing units in Georgia have been purchased by out-of-state equity investors. I have a plan to solve that.
"I’m the only candidate talking about need-based financial aid, so middle class families can send their kids to college without going deeper into debt. Those are the issues we have to talk about, and to the points you were making earlier, we have got to lean into the resources that federal Democrats have delivered to Georgia — that hardworking Georgians have delivered to themselves — to create a $6 billion surplus in our state.
