Stacey Abrams Will Deliver the Democratic Rebuttal to the State of the Union Address

As you know, I've long been a huge fan of Stacey Abrams, so I am really excited that Democratic leaders have invited her to give the Democrats' rebuttal to the State of the Union address (whenever it is) and she has accepted.

Chuck Schumer confirms the reporting from @chrislhayes: He asked Stacey Abrams three weeks ago to deliver the State of the Union response. She agreed, Schumer says.

Video Transcript:

Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer standing at a podium answering questions from the press: Speaker Pelosi and I are gonna issue an official statement shortly, but yes: Three weeks ago, I called Stacey Abrams and asked her to deliver the response to the State of the Union. I was very delighted when she agreed. And she is just a great spokesperson; she's an incredible leader; she'd led the charge for voting rights, which is at the root of just about everything else; and she really has, if you look at her background, she knows what working people, middle-class people, go through. So, yes, I'm very excited that she's agreed to be the respondent to the president and the State of the Union.

Fuck yeah!
