Failed gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams made a cameo appearance as president of united Earth on Star Trek… Congratulations to her on getting as close as she’s going to get to being president of any place.
Yes, that was Stacey Abrams with a cameo on Star Trek Discovery as president of United Earth. A proud Star Trek nerd, Abrams has appeared as a guest on fan shows and has talked extensively about how the show shaped her perspective. #gapol pic.twitter.com/V1HbghDERw

Hot Air writes:
Say what you will about Stacey Abrams, it’s a real achievement to have built a cultural profile high enough for stuntcasting as the president of Earth in a “Star Trek” series without ever having held federal or statewide office. She’s one of the most famous politicians in America somehow despite never having won an election bigger than a Georgia state assembly seat. She hasn’t held any public office at all in nearly five years.
That could change in November, but Abrams will be swimming against a strong Republican national current… Although if I were her, given how well Republicans are doing on the generic ballot, I’d be glad to have a fallback career in science fiction.
The obsession with failed candidates like Abrams and Beto O’Rourke on the left makes absolutely no sense, yet it exists. Hot Air claims that “some Democrats have taken to whispering lately that black candidates may have an electability problem,” but the reality is apparently just beyond the left’s grasp: it has nothing to do with the candidates’ skin color, it is their charisma (or lack thereof), their intelligence (or lack thereof), their credentials (or lack thereof), and their platform. The left keeps putting up awful candidates with terrible personalities who can barely form intelligent sentences (like Kamala Harris), or who try to fail upwards (losing a Senate election, then trying to run for governor like Beto O’Rourke), or who just aren’t likeable and blame everyone else for their failures (like Stacey Abrams).
So, while she may be president of a fictional united Earth, she’s probably not going to be president of the United States anytime soon. Or governor of Georgia, for that matter.
Apparently, Bernie Sanders campaign alums are already preparing to field a candidate for the presidency in 2024 in case Biden decides not to run again — and their candidate of choice definitely isn’t Abrams.
According to reporting by Politico:
Top figures from Bernie Sanders’ presidential campaign are privately encouraging Ro Khanna to run for president in 2024 if Joe Biden doesn’t seek a second term, giving the California congressman an important stamp of approval from progressives as the party looks to its post-Biden future…
“I think Ro would be a very effective candidate,” said Longabaugh, who stressed that he was only referring to a scenario in which Biden did not run again in 2024. “This guy has a message that’s very powerful. … Ro is basically saying, ‘Is there a way in which we can reconstruct the economy so that all of the wealth is not just being generated on the East Coast, West Coast, or out of my congressional district?'”…
The three-term congressman cuts a unique profile: The 45-year-old is a die-hard liberal who happens to also represent the startup paradise of Silicon Valley. He calls himself a “progressive capitalist” and envisions a future in which America’s eroding democracy is strengthened by spreading well-paying technology jobs across the heartland.
So, as Hot Air writes, “Congratulations to Ro Khanna on his eventual ‘Star Trek’ cameo as emperor of Mars or whatever.”
Below is the clip of Abrams’ cameo appearance on the episode of Star Trek.
“I’m still floored when I think about Stacey gracing us with her presence in our Season 4 finale,” said star Sonequa Martin-Green when talking about the show, using language one would typically reserve for a religious leader.
