Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams apologized on Tuesday for posing maskless in a room full of masked children.

The Democrat in her apology said she had made a “mistake” when she posed for a photograph at Glennwood Elementary School in Decatur during a visit on Feb. 4, without wearing a mask.
