Former Georgia House Representative Stacey Abrams stated this week that she received $2 billion from the Biden administration’s Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to promote eco-friendly home appliances, a move that some critics are calling a potential scheme for “vote buying” linked to the Democratic Party.
Lee Zeldin, EPA Administrator, recently disclosed that under the Biden administration, the EPA allocated $20 billion in what he described as “gold bars” — grants to left-wing organizations. Abrams’ affiliated group, Power Forward Communities, was awarded $2 billion as part of these grants, which is reportedly “20 million times the organization’s reported revenue,” according to the EPA.
“Stacey Abrams’ Power Forward Communities received $2 BILLION to be a pass-through entity for Biden EPA’s $20 billion ‘gold bar’ scheme,” Zeldin posted on X in February. “They reported just $100 in total revenue after their founding in late 2023.”

Abrams, a Democrat known for her two unsuccessful campaigns for governor of Georgia, appeared on MSNBC in early March to defend the financial support Power Forward Communities received, dismissing any suspicion of wrongdoing.
“In 2023 and 2024, I led a program called Revitalizing Desoto,” Abrams explained to MSNBC, outlining her efforts to help residents in South Georgia replace outdated home appliances with more energy-efficient ones.
She added that this initiative’s success led to the formation of a coalition of organizations that united with the aim of investing U.S. taxpayer dollars to help reduce the costs for American families.
Steve Milloy, a former member of President Donald Trump’s first-term EPA transition team, criticized the financial dealings as a “grift” and likened it to a “vote buying” tactic similar to the “Obama phones” from the Obama era.
“The EPA-Stacey Abrams grift revealed: @staceyabrams just told MSBNC’s @chrislhayes that the Biden EPA gave her $2 billion to buy people new home appliances to reduce electric bills. So Democrats upgraded vote buying from Obama phones to Biden refrigerators,” Milloy wrote on X.
