Stacey Abrams, a former Georgia State House leader, is aggressively marketing herself as a potential vice president for Joe Biden increasingly irritating those in the former veeps orbit, an insider said.
Meanwhile, Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand has her sights set on something else secretary of defense, say those familiar with her plans.
If they go with a black woman, it would be Kamala Harris, but shes a clunky communicator and couldnt generate any excitement for her own campaign with black or white voters, the Biden insider said.
While campaigning for vice president traditionally requires a delicate dance of private lobbying and public demurring, Abrams has flipped the script openly campaigning for the position. In an April 22 appearance on The View Abrams said she has concerns about Biden not picking a woman of color.
In an interview with Elle Magazine a week earlier, Abrams gushed that she would be an excellent running mate and lauded her 25 years in independent study of foreign policy.
But she has no previous national experience, and is mostly remembered for narrowly losing a race for governor of Georgia in 2018.
No one takes Stacey seriously. And her public campaigning for the job seems more like a hostage negotiation than an actual attempt to get the job, said a Biden insider.
Stacey isnt ready on day one. Even she knows that and its why shes engaging in this dance. She might get perfunctorily better, but shes not a serious pick for him. And her campaign is viewed as much as promotion for her book as it is for being chosen as Bidens VP.
Gillibrand, who has spent years focusing on military issues as a senior member of the Armed Services committee, is looking to become a #MeToo reformer in the Department of Defense.

Correct skin color—check.
Correct gender—check.
Stupid as a rock—check.
Lost her only statewide election—check.
Stacy looks like a shoo-in to me!
I take her as a SERIOUSLY UGLY DEMOCRAT.....redundant...they’re ALL UGLY!
Biden isn’t picking anything besides his nose.

It’s obvious that Biden is out. The Democrats are focused on who their real Presidential nominee is going to be. They need Stacy Abrams to get off the stage, so to speak. The Democrats want to focus the talk on Hillary, or Michelle, or someone who is the actual hand-picked Presidential nominee. They are fully pivoting toward THAT conversation.
This was from a thread earlier today. I do not know who the FReeper is to give credit.
No one takes Stacey seriously
LOL. So she and Biden have a lot in common, then?
Sounds like the perfect running mate.
“I take her as a SERIOUSLY UGLY DEMOCRAT.....redundant...theyre ALL UGLY”!
Ugly inside and out. The Dems have a knack for picking the scum at the bottom of the fish tank....or sewer.
Pure BS
Desperate is never a good look....
Biden will just smell her hair, quick bit of fingerbangbang, then back off to irrelevantville for her.
Baby got gap!
Michele has zero political experience, had one real-world administrative job that her husband got her and that was so critical they didn't even bother to replace her when she left. Plus, she doesn't want to actually do the hard work she'd need to do to campaign and pretend to run the country. She would rather just be a complaining megawealthy haridan who may or may not have a dick.
It's likely to be Kamala, or possibly Warren. That's how thin their bench is.
[[The Dems have a knack for picking the scum at the bottom of the fish tank....or sewer.]]
They just keep dumping in fish tank cleaner to try to cover up the stench
To me, she is not “Stacey,” she is Governor Abrams!
So that's why there was a shortage of hydroxychloroquine.
