Meet Stacey Abrams, Democrat Who Could Become First African-American Woman Governor in U.S. History

We speak with Stacey Abrams, who made history in Georgia last month when she became the first African-American woman to win a major party's nomination for governor in U.S. history. The former state House Democratic leader defeated Stacey Evans, a former state representative who ran as a centrist. Abrams faces a tough race this November against her Republican opponent, who will be decided during a July 24 runoff election between Lt. Gov. Casey Cagle and Secretary of State Brian Kemp. If Abrams wins, she'll become the first African-American governor in the Deep South since Reconstruction. "We can actually win elections without having to cater to these right-wing, harshly conservative policies that only serve to harm everyone," says Abrams. We also discuss her new book, which offers advice to others inspired to run for office: "Minority Leader: How to Lead from the Outside and Make Real Change."
