Abrams said that explaining those benefits to voters is the crucial work that has to get done before November.
“President Biden is the right person to be on the ballot, but the work of winning an election is about who you get to show up to the booth,” Abrams said. “And that’s the work of everyone who cares about the future of this country. So I’m not concerned, I’m committed.”
