- Atlantic staff writer Jacob Stern said that Stacey Abrams and Beto O’Rourke are a part of the “superstar loser” phenomenon in politics.
- Stern wrote the two Democrats are “among the country’s best-known political figures, better known than almost any sitting governor or U.S. senator” but they “have become so well known not by winning big elections but by losing them.”
- Stern attributes their ability to remain relevant to social media enabling candidates to remain powerful public figures despite election losses.
