♪♪♪ >> STEPHEN: WE'RE BACK WITH
STACEY ABRAMS.
ON THE EVE OF THE GEORGIA ELECTION.
ONCE THIS ELECTION IS OVER, WHAT'S NEXT?
IS THE SUCCESS THAT Y'ALL HAVE HAD IN GEORGI GEORGIA REPLICABLE
OTHER STATES?
>> WE HAVE THE MOST DIVERSE ELECTORATE IN GEORGIA WITH A
HIGH CONCENTRATION NOT ONLY OF AFRICAN-AMERICAN VOTERS BUT
LATINA AND ASIAN VOTERS.
WHAT WE SAW IN ARIZONA IS SOMETHING THAT COULD HAPPEN
ACROSS THE SUN BELT.
IT WON'T HAPPEN OVERNIGHT.
DEMOGRAPHY SEEMS TO PRECEDE ELECTORAL CHANGES, BUT I BELIEVE
IT'S POSSIBLE TO BUILD THE INFRASTRUCTURE WE'VE BUILT IN
GEORGIA AND OTHER STATES AND ENGAGE VOTERS WHO ARE LEFT OUT
OF THE PROCESS IN OTHER STATES AND IT'S POSSIBLE FOR US TO WIN
IN OTHER STATES AS WE INVEST IN, ORGANIZE AND MOBILIZE OUR
VOTERS.
>> Stephen: YOU'VE SPENT THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS THROWING
ALL YOUR FOCUS AT MOBILIZING VOTERS AND HELPING OTHER
CANDIDATES.
WHAT'S NEXT FOR YOU?
ARE YOU GOING TO TAKE ANOTHER RUN AT GOVERNOR IN 2022?
>> I AM FOCUSED ON JANUA JANUARY 5th, THAT IS WHERE I'M
LOOKING AND NOT LOOKING ANY FURTHER AHEAD BECAUSE WHAT WE DO
NEXT REALLY DEPENDS ON WHAT WE CAN ACCOMPLISH IN THIS RACE.
>> Stephen: LET ME LOOK AHEAD FOR YOU.
OH, PAST JANUARY 5th, THERE'S AN ELECTION IN 2022.
DO YOU HAVE ANY INTEREST IN THAT.
>> I'M SORRY, I CAN'T SEE THAT FAR.
I DON'T HAVE MY GLASSES ON.
>> Stephen: WANT TO USE MINE?
THERE YOU GO.
THAT'S A YES.
I'LL MARK YOU DOWN FOR YES.
THERE YOU GO.
NOW, I KNOW THAT "STAR TREK" IS A CULTURAL HOME FOR YOU, IT IS
FOR ME AS WELL.
NOTHING AGAINST "STAR WARS," BUT THIS "STAR TREK" WAS THE
ORIGINAL FOR ME.
IS THERE ANY STORY?
IS THERE ANY LESSON FROM "TAR TREK" THAT YOU COULD DRAW
FROM RIGHT NOW?
>> SO I'M DRAWING FROM THE SERIES "STAR TREK" VOYAGER.
IT WAS A SHIP ON A MISSION, THEY GOT THROWN OFF COURSE AND WERE
TOLD IT WILL TAKE 75 YEARS TO REACH THEIR GOAL.
THEY GOT THERE IN SEVEN.
I LIKE THE ODDS.
>> Stephen: WOW.
IS THAT CAMPAIGN JANE WAY.
>> THAT IS CAPTAIN JAN WAY, YES.
DEEP CUT CAPTAIN JAN WAY.
NOT EVERYBODY CAN DO THAT.
>> VERY IMPRESSIVE.
>> Stephen: ONE OF THE THINGS THE PRESIDENT TALKS ABOUT IN
THAT RECORDING IN THAT SHAKEDOWN HE DOES IS HE FINDS IT SHOCKING
THAT PEOPLE LEAVE GEORGIA AND THEN COME BACK BECAUSE HE'S
TRYING TO MAKE THE CASE THAT THIS HAD TO BE ILLEGAL VOTING,
PEOPLE LEFT, AND THEY REGISTERED TO VOTE, BUT THEY SAY, NO,
PEOPLE LEFT BUT THEN DECIDED TO COME BACK TO GEORGIA AN
ACTUALLY VOTE THERE.
WHY IS GEORGIA, AS -- AS A CITIZEN OF GEORGIA, WHY IS IT SO
PROVERBIAL THAT PEOPLE GO BACK?
BECAUSE I WAS SAYING IN THE FIRST ACT, YOU'VE GOT MIDNIGHT
TRAIN TO GEORGIA, YOU'VE GOT GEORGIA ON MY MIND, YOU'VE GOT
WALKIN' BACK TO GEORGIA, EVEN THE DEVIL WENT DOWN TO GEORGIA.
WHAT IS IT ABOUT GEORGIA THAT JUST HAS A GRIP ON PEOPLE?
>> CLEARLY, WE'RE OPEN TO EVERYONE, BUT WHAT I LOVE ABOUT
FA IS YOU'VE -- GEORGIA IS YOU'VE GOT EVERY CLIMATE AND
TOPOGRAPHY, BUT, MORE IMPORTANTLY, YOU HAVE GOOD
PEOPLE, AMAZING FOOD, AMAZING ARTISTS, AND GEORGIA IS THE
PLACE TO BE.
A LOT OF FOLKS GET LOST ON THEIR WAY TO FLORIDA.
GEORGIA'S A GREAT PLACE TO STOP AND FORGET TO QUIT DRIVING.
>> Stephen: SURE.
I-75, WHAT GOES THROUGH GEORGIA?
>> WE GET 75, 85, AND YOU CAN TAKE 20 ACROSS.
>> Stephen: ALL RIGHT.
WE ARE THE CROSSROADS OF THE WORLD.
>> Stephen: LOT OF GREAT REST STOPS.
YOU DO KNOW, NOT JUST BECAUSE I'M FROM SOUTH CAROLINA, YOU DO
KNOW THAT SOUTH CAROLINA PRODUCES MORE PEACHES THAN
GEORGIA, RIGHT?
YOU'RE AWARE TO OF THIS.
>> WE DO.
WE JUST ENGAGE IN OUR MISINFORMATION BECAUSE IF WE
CALL OURSELVES THE PEACH STATE THEY WON'T PAY ATTENTION TO WHAT
YOU GUYS PRODUCE.
IT'S ALL A BIG CONSPIRACY.
I'LL CALL YOU ABOUT IT.
>> Stephen: PLEASE DO.
PLEASE DO.
PLEASE REMEMBER TO VOTE TOMORROW, IF YOU LIVE IN
GEORGIA.
IT'S STACEY ABRAMS, EVERYBODY.
WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK WITH RUPAUL.
>> THANK YOU.
