During a Sunday morning appearance on CNN with Jake Tapper, former Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams (D) declined to say whether left-wing sloganeering, such as “defund the police,” could hurt Democrats in the upcoming Georgia Senate races, as some Democrats believe it did in the 2020 congressional races.

“You just heard Majority Whip Jim Clyburn, earlier in the show, talking about how some of the sloganeering his word, not mine by progressives reminded him of ‘burn, baby, burn’ during the 60s turning voters off,” remarked Tapper. “He told Politico this week that if Democrats quote ‘run on Medicare for All, defund the police, socialized medicine, we’re not going to win’ the Georgia Senate races. Does he have a point?”
