Stacey Abrams, the former Democratic gubernatorial nominee in Georgia, said that she would be “happy” to run as a vice presidential candidate.
Abrams told an audience at the University of Iowa on Monday that she’d be open to running for vice president alongside the Democratic nominee in the general election, the Daily Iowan reported.
The former gubernatorial candidate also quashed rumors about being offered a spot on Democratic White House hopeful Joe Biden's ticket in 2020, according to the university newspaper.
“But when I got the question [from reporters] I was, myself, contemplating my next steps,” she said. “And what I said was, you do not run in a primary for second place, so no, for whatever rumors are out there.”
“However, I’m not in the primary, but you can run as second in the general election, and I am happy to do so with the nominee. That is my answer,” she added.
Abrams never conceded the race against current Republican Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp. After her candidacy, she founded Fair Fight, an organization aimed to defending voter rights and access in elections.
Monday’s event at the university celebrated 100 years of women’s suffrage, according to the Daily Iowan.
The Hill reached out to Fair Fight for Abrams’s comments on her statements Monday.
Isn’t she too busy to run because she is fighting people in line for the Popey’s sandwich?
Biden is looking for a ‘clean and articulate’ running mate...
If the nominee for president is a white man, a minority woman will be on the short list for VP running mate.
Interesting that she is publicly weighing in on this subject. As if she hopes to be chosen?
She brings a lot of gravitas. A LOT.
When be da Vice Presidential debates? How many peoples have declared so far?
And the dem-o-rats are ray-ciss if no one chooses her!
Ghettopotamus says what?
OMG do it Democrats. Please.
Oh, please oh, please...
Biden floated this about 3 months ago and she told him to pound sand. I suspect she hoping a Commie Dem like Warren or Sanders wins the nomination and picks her
Campaign theme song....”Open wide for Chunky”
Ghettopotamus says what?
Along those lines,
...said that she would be “happy” to run waddle as a vice presidential candidate.
Since her entire career and worldview is centered on obtaining the unearned, of course she would.
I think you mis-spelled Stacey’s gravitas.
Should be gravytas........cackle.
Please, please make it so.
Too bad that normal people eschew running for public office.
I predict she will be Crazy Bernie’s runningmate if CrookedH fails to win the nomination.
