Stacey Abrams…Star Trek President of United Earth….

In January 2020, Stacey Abrams, who is now running to become the Democratic governor of Georgia, told FiveThirtyEight that, by 2040, she would become president of the United States.

It would take her far less time to become president of United Earth.

On Thursday, Abrams made a cameo in the final minutes of the Season 4 finale of “Star Trek: Discovery.” In the episode, she walks off a spaceship, cape over her shoulders, and is greeted as “Madam President.” Abrams, president of a planetary state known as United Earth, agrees to rejoin an interstellar alliance that United Earth had previously broken away from. The episode ends with Abrams telling the show’s protagonist, Capt. Michael Burnham: “There’s a lot of work to do. Are you ready for that?”
