Stacey Abrams campaigns for McAuliffe in churches: ‘Voting is an act of faith’

Democrat Stacey Abrams campaigned for Democratic Virginia gubernatorial candidate Terry McAuliffe at Black churches in Norfolk, Va., on Sunday. Abrams narrowly lost the Georgia gubernatorial election in 2018 and has used that defeat to position herself as a voting rights advocate.

Second Calvary Baptist Church and Faith Deliverance Christian Center turned their pulpits over to Abrams, who endorsed McAuliffe and touted her religious bonafides as the daughter of pastors, according to the Associated Press.

“I am the daughter of not one but two pastors,” Abrams told Second Calvary Baptist Church congregants, who were required to show cards proving their vaccination status.
