Some people make the calculation that they can go further in life as professional republicans than being dems or indies.

techniques being used. I'd imagine that Stacey Abrams has a lot to say about it, but she's a democrat and this question was asking about black republicans...she'd be far better qualified at answering this question that I would...

IMHO, Stacey Abrams is a wonderful person and has such a wonderful skill set. I wish her the best that life has to offer, for I feel that if she were to win higher office, she would give all of us such amazing dividends while being there (and I'm not talking about money here). Responsible governing, caring for all who need it, etc. I know it's repetitive, but I grabbed the Wikipedia bio on this wonderful person.
--snip--

Stacey Yvonne Abrams (/ˈeɪbrəmz/;[1] born December 9, 1973) is an American politician, lawyer, voting rights activist, and author who served in the Georgia House of Representatives from 2007 to 2017, serving as minority leader from 2011 to 2017.[2] A member of the Democratic Party, Abrams founded Fair Fight Action, an organization to address voter suppression, in 2018.[3] Her efforts have been widely credited with boosting voter turnout in Georgia,[4] including in the 2020 presidential election, where Joe Biden won the state, and in Georgia's 2020–2021 U.S. Senate election and special election, which gave Democrats control over the Senate.

Abrams was the Democratic nominee in the 2018 Georgia gubernatorial election, becoming the first African-American female major-party gubernatorial nominee in the United States.[5] She lost and refused to formally concede to Brian Kemp in an election marked by accusations that Kemp engaged in voter suppression as Georgia secretary of state.[6][7][8][9] In February 2019, Abrams became the first African-American woman to deliver a response to the State of the Union address.
