For now, however, Abrams is focused on the upcoming races in the Georgia Senate. The January 5 runoff will determine whether the Democrats will control the Senate, something she is currently concerned about, according to an Abrams spokesman.
“Leader Abrams has made no decisions about their political future and is focused solely on the election of Jon Ossoff and Rev. Raphael Warnock on January 5th,” Abrams spokesman told Fox News.
