The Profit of Politics: How Stacey Abrams Leveraged Her Position

In this episode of The Miller Report: Real Clear Journalism, we discuss a new investigation done by Paul Sperry into Stacey Abrams' finances. It reveals questions about political ethics, nonprofit funding, and personal financial gain. Despite reporting significant debt and tax liens just a few years ago, Abrams' net worth soared from under $109,000 in 2018 to over $3.2 million by 2022 — while working largely in the nonprofit sector.

At the center of the controversy is Rewiring America, a green energy nonprofit that received $1.9 billion in federal funds after Abrams helped orchestrate the funding strategy. That grant is now frozen and under investigation.

We break down the major findings, including ethics probes into her campaign practices, alleged misuse of political donations to promote her book, and broader concerns about political insiders leveraging government programs for personal profit. Is this an isolated case or part of a larger problem in American politics?
