In a jaw-dropping admission on MSNBC, failed Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams proudly revealed that the Biden administration’s EPA funneled nearly $2 billion into a program she spearheaded to replace home appliances—just in time for an election year.
During an interview with left-wing host Chris Hayes, Abrams proudly recounted how the Biden administration greenlit her project, Vitalizing DeSoto, a so-called “climate justice” initiative that handed out free home appliances to a select group of residents in a small Georgia town.
But the real bombshell? This taxpayer-funded windfall was part of a larger effort to implement the Democrats’ radical climate agenda under the guise of “helping” Americans with their electric bills.
President Donald Trump, in a fiery rebuke, called out the scheme for what it is—a politically motivated slush fund designed to curry favor with voters using taxpayer dollars.
“Take a $1.9 billion to recently created Decarbonization of Homes Committee headed up—and we know she’s involved. Just at the last moment, the money was passed over by a woman named Stacey Abrams. Have you ever heard of her?” Trump said during his joint address to Congress.
Rather than deny her involvement, Abrams openly confirmed it, boasting that her pilot program successfully provided government-funded appliances to 75% of DeSoto’s residents.
She even shared a specific case where a recipient’s electric bill dropped from $180 to $98, touting it as proof of success. What she failed to mention, however, is how this so-called “investment” was conveniently timed just months before the election, ensuring the Biden administration could claim a “win” on energy costs while buying goodwill in key voting blocs.
Chris Hayes: One of the ironies of the attack on you—and I’m going to play what he did—was that my understanding is the program at the source of this whole thing is a program to lower costs for people. Do I have that top line correct?
Stacey Abrams: You have it absolutely right.
Chris Hayes: Okay, so I’m going to play what he had to say, and then I’m going to ask you to explain what the program is that was such an obvious, ludicrous laugh line for the Republicans there.
President Trump: Take a $1.9 billion to recently created Decarbonization of Homes Committee headed up—and we know she’s involved. Just at the last moment, the money was passed over by a woman named Stacey Abrams. Have you ever heard of her?
Chris Hayes: Okay, so what is this organization? What is your relation to it, and what does it do?
Stacey Abrams: In 2023 and 2024, I led a program called Vitalizing DeSoto. We worked in a tiny town in South Georgia to demonstrate that by replacing energy-inefficient appliances with efficient appliances, you can lower your cost. In fact, we accomplished that. For 75% of the community, they got appliances that are lowering their bills right now. We had one woman who saw her electric bill cut in half—from $180 to $98.
That’s what we delivered. Based on that program, a coalition of organizations—famous organizations—came together and said to the EPA, “If we can do this here, we can do this for millions more Americans. Let us invest the money of America in lowering the cost for Americans.” And the EPA said, “Okay, great. Go for it.”

Earlier this month, Lee Zeldin, the newly appointed EPA Administrator, provided a crucial update on the billions of taxpayer dollars wasted under Biden’s watch.
This revelation came after Project Veritas released an undercover video in December featuring EPA Advisor Brent Efron, who admitted to an ‘insurance policy’ against a Trump administration and detailed how the agency was funneling billions to climate organizations in a last-minute heist.
“We’re throwing gold bars off the Titanic,” Efron admitted on an undercover video, exposing the Biden administration’s desperate attempts to lock in wasteful spending before leaving office.
Zeldin then confirmed that his team at the EPA “found the gold bars.”
“Fortunately, my awesome team at the EPA has found the gold bars. Shockingly, roughly $20 billion of your tax dollars were parked at an outside financial institution by the Biden EPA. This scheme was the first of its kind in EPA history and was purposely designed to obligate all of the money in a rush job with reduced oversight,” Zeldin said.
A Massive $20 Billion Money Grab—And Stacey Abrams Got Her Share
Zeldin further revealed that the $20 billion was awarded to just eight entities, allowing them to distribute taxpayer money to leftist NGOs with little to no transparency. One of the biggest recipients was the Climate United Fund, which received nearly $7 billion.
Now, it turns out that a staggering $2 billion of that money was funneled to Power Forward Communities, a newly created nonprofit linked to Stacey Abrams, according to a bombshell report from The Free Beacon.
“DOGE discovered $2 billion in taxpayer funds set aside for a fledgling nonprofit linked to perennial Georgia Democratic candidate Stacey Abrams. The Environmental Protection Agency under the Biden administration awarded Power Forward Communities the grant in April 2024 as part of the agency’s Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund program,” the report states.
Despite receiving billions in taxpayer funds, Power Forward Communities was only founded months earlier in late 2023 and had never handled anywhere near that amount of money. Its latest tax filings show that it reported just $100 in total revenue during its first three months.
This isn’t the first time a Stacey Abrams-affiliated organization has come under fire for financial misconduct. Francys Johnson, the head of Abrams’ nonprofit The New Georgia Project, recently resigned after the firm was hit with a massive $300,000 fine for illegal campaign fundraising.
The New Georgia Project, which Abrams created in 2013 to increase Democrat voter turnout, was caught raising $4.2 million in dark money and illegally spending $3.2 million on campaign activities.
Johnson’s resignation is just another sign that the organization has been a financial scandal waiting to happen.
