I wonder why she hasn't caught on...
This, and her refusal to cleanly concede to Kemp in 2018, are probably two of the most important factors as to why she's failing this year. Another would be her massive ego, as she clearly views Georgia as merely a stepping stone for higher office - namely, the Presidency. Seeing her lose again will be satisfying.
The photo was bad but I don't it hurt nearly as bad as her failing to concede in 2018 or her pushing so hard for Biden's VP slot. Her failure to concede has supplied every Trump apologist with a valid "what about" comeback (the two are not on the same level but still) . The VP push was a bad look considering the highest office she has ever held is a state legislator.
All of this is certainly true. Like I've said, Abrams is very ambitious and over the last four years, has behaved as if she were the incumbent Governor of Georgia. When she loses, I wouldn't be surprised to see her star rapidly diminish. A similar fate awaits Beto O'Rourke once he loses to Abbott in November.
Additionally she tried to run with the story about the music festival being cancelled (which, good idea or bad idea, was cancelled by liberals and not actually Kemp’s idea) after actively cheering the MLB to move the all-star game out of Georgia. Not a difference maker in itself but just another example for voters to remember she is an opportunist and gaslighter.
