Just months after losing one of the nation's most-watched midterm races, Georgia Democrat Stacey Abrams is gearing up to give the official Democratic response to President Donald Trump's State of the Union address.
The response, which is always done by the party not occupying the White House, will follow Trump's address on Feb. 5.
"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 said in a statement. "I plan to deliver a vision for prosperity and equality, where everyone in our nation has a voice and where each of those voices is heard."
