In January 2019, Abrams spoke at a healthcare conference. When the host, Sister Simone Campbell, introduced Abrams and said, “She lost the race by less than 2% of 3.9 million votes,” Abrams thanked her but said, “I’m going to correct Sister Simone Campbell ... Thank you for such a kind introduction, but we didn’t lose. We just didn’t get the governor’s mansion.”
Abrams then tried to dilute her election denial into some broader claim about progressive victories, but what she said was clear and direct: When her host said, “She lost the [governor’s] race,” Abrams “corrected” her to say, “We didn’t lose.” The cutesy wordplay afterward doesn’t change that.
Abrams’s current defense holds no water at all. She was an election denier in a whole party of habitual election deniers. The most charitable interpretation is that she has now shifted away from open election denialism because Donald Trump has claimed that mantle for the Republican Party. But there's an election coming up, and she is trailing badly in the polls, so we'll see how long that lasts.
