OSLO (Reuters) - U.S. voting rights activist and Democratic Party politician Stacey Abrams has been nominated for this year's Nobel Peace Prize for her work to promote nonviolent change via the ballot box, a Norwegian lawmaker said on Monday.

Abrams, whose work was credited with boosting voter turnout last year, helping Joe Biden win the U.S. presidency, joins a long list of nominees, including both former President Donald Trump and his son-in-law, former White House adviser Jared Kushner.

"Abrams' work follows in Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s footsteps in the fight for equality before the law and for civil rights," said Lars Haltbrekken, a Socialist Party member of Norway's parliament.

Thousands of people, from members of parliaments worldwide to former winners, are eligible to propose candidates, and a nomination does not imply endorsement from the Nobel committee in Oslo.

Other candidates this year include Russian dissident Alexei Navalny, the World Health Organization and climate campaigner Greta Thunberg.

Why not, Obama got one for less...

 

[Bonerfarts]

Conservatives are going to go off the rails. This really hits them in their Trumps.

Right, and if the bar for getting one is so low what does that say about Trump not getting one?

 

[steam_o_us]

Was Trump ever nominated?

Wut. She would be getting a medal because she got the democrat vote out.

The Former Guy would like us to believe that he won 2 or 3 prizes over the years...

Remember the nomination process is so easy. Basically any member of Congress can put forward a nomination, also some university professors and a bunch of other groups. I wouldn’t consider Trump’s or Abram’s nominations all that significant.

Trump had integrity?...

This is what people say when their guy/gal doesn't ever get one.

I don’t know. I don’t care all that much either way.
It was a joke when Obama won and was a ridiculous joke for Trump to even be nominated.

 

[ICHawk-I]

Trump had integrity?...

Since you put a question mark at the end of that I'll take it that you're asking. To answer; no Trump had no integrity. None. Likely why he was never a serious contender for the prize.

Haha, she’s a phucking hack who will lie, cheat and steal...just like she did on 2020.

You seem triggered by an intelligent woman of color.

Weird.

They'll make 1 for him out of recycled diet coke fans they are supposed to be boycotting.

You are a waste of oxygen.

The Nobel peace price has become a joke. Who cares who wins it? It's tougher to win American Idol and the Nobel is less prestigious. Obummer got one for being a black president. The only needed qualification is you have to hate America and be willing to shout it from the highest roof top.

Good for her. Congrats to Ms. Abrams!

She has been a trailblazer in politics. She was one of the first to refuse to accept her election results and still to this day hasn't conceded her loss to Kemp. This led the way for all of those Republicans who refused to accept that Trump lost the election. She's the Godmother of 1/6! The founder of the first "Stop the Steal" movement! That's a big deal and very deserving of Nobel consideration.

She is a gap-tooth left-wing hack!

I’m conservative and I couldn’t care less.

Good for her I guess.

Meh, not at all. It's an award created by liberals for liberals.

Who knew that contesting an election would win the hearts and minds of the left?

If you were a Marxist you would find her hot.
