Stacey Abrams: I'd be 'happy' to run as vice presidential candidate

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.

“Airforce 2 doesn’t have the lift capacity and the cargo bays are not big enough.”

Our tax dollars can take care of that.

I would have thought she was too busy being the Governor of Georgia. In 2020, she’ll declare herself the real VP and live in that fantasy world for many years after.

She could only win if she replaces Pence.

There’s more of a chance Joe Biden could get you a high paying job in the Ukraine.

That’s not “gravitas” that’s gravity.

Penny... LOL. If you are going to compare her to a unit of currency I would suggest a "A Bad Rai Stone" from Yap Island.

I would say that I’m happy to have her run; however, I’m not convinced that America isn’t so dumbed down that it wouldn’t vote for her.

Georgia wasn’t dumbed down enough to elect her. I dare say America isn’t dumbed down enough yet to elect her except some big cities. She should run for De Blasio’s job. That she could get.

Give it up, you disgusting ambulatory heap of corruption, lies, and gluttonous lard. Only a similarly corrupt brain dead idiot such as yourself would want you as a running mate. There are several dummocrap candidates who certainly fulfill the above description, but even they aren't dumb enough to want you as a partner.

Yet another retread of a story run months ago on 8/15.

https://abc17news.com/news/politics/stacey-abrams-says-shes-open-to-accepting-vp-nomination/1109642276

Liberals are running out of things to say and are repeating themselves.

“She brings a lot of gravitas. A LOT.”

Yes. The larger the mass, the more gravitational attraction.
