Stacey Abrams is more popular than Trump in her home state — and she's the real main event next Tuesday night.

Democrats have chosen Georgia’s Stacey Abrams to give the official party response to Trump’s upcoming State of the Union speech.

“At a moment when our nation needs to hear from leaders who can unite for a common purpose, I am honored to be delivering the Democratic State of the Union response,” Abrams wrote.

Abrams is well positioned to run for Georgia’s Senate seat in 2020 with a 52 percent approval rating in a recent poll from the Atlanta Journal Constitution. The same poll finds Trump currently with 38 percent approval in the state, which he won in 2016. Back then, he received 51 percent of the vote.

LONG READ: The Trump proposal to re-open the government is out and it’s more than a 1,000 pages long. A look at what Sen McConnell is putting forth. https://t.co/Fz9k9gTxP6

Now Laura Loomer is back and saying she tried to open the doors to Pelosi's house, but they were locked. This seems like an unwise thing to be admitting!

Laura Loomer has walked off the stream, on her way to Pelosi's house. One of her crew is claiming that it's legal to jump the fence because there were no "no trespassing" signs. I don't know about that!

For lack of anything better to do, Laura Loomer is now carrying her tent back and forth on Nancy Pelosi's lawn

They confirm what millions already knew: Trump is a liar.

Every single living American president has now confirmed that Trump was lying when he claimed they all support his crusade to build a useless wall along the U.S.-Mexico border.

Presidents Barack Obama, George W. Bush, Bill Clinton and Jimmy Carter are on record refuting Trump’s claim.

In remarks told during his recent appearance in the Rose Garden of the White House, Trump said, “This should have been done by all of the presidents that preceded me and they all know it. Some of them have told me that we should have done it.”

But they didn’t. It was just a story Trump invented to bolster support for his wall, which Trump has shut down the federal government for.
