Abrams, responding to his curiosity, explained, “We understand the mayor, and we understand the president. They get away with so much because most of us don’t learn about the state. The state gets the money from the federal government. And it’s the state that decides how much money makes it to the local governments. How much the mayor gets.”
According to AllHipHop, in August, Stacey Abrams criticized Republican Brian Kemp for the cancelation of the Music Midtown festival held in Atlanta. The musical lineup included rappers Future, 2 Chainz, Denzel Curry, and Key Glock. Music Midtown organizers reportedly called off this year’s festival due to concern over being unable to ensure the attendees’ safety from gun violence. However, Abrams blamed Kemp’s decision to sign off on legalizing concealed handguns to be carried publicly (without a permit) as the reason.
Kemp and Abrams faced off for the role of Georgia governor in 2018. Kemp won that race against Abrams by a 50.2% to 48.8% margin.
