      .@Lina4HC takes the stage, begins by saying women like @staceyabrams — who's speaking here shortly — inspired her to run for office. Hidalgo calls Abrams' race "a victory that should have been hers but was stripped away by voter suppression."

      Abrams still on her '18 race, highlights that she had highest turnout for a Democrat in GA history, including sharp increases among Hispanics, Asians, African Americans. Without mentioning @BrianKempGA by name, she says a "cartoon villain" had to "cheat" to win in her race.
