Stacey Abrams, the former Georgia gubernatorial candidate who's now focusing on tackling voter suppression head on, said she "absolutely" sees herself running for president one day, but for the 2020 cycle, she "would be honored" to run for vice president with whoever the Democratic nominee is.
"Why should we not want someone to have the power to fix the problems and the brokenness that we have?" Abrams told the hosts of ABC's "The View." "I want to do good, and there is no stronger platform than president of the United States. And that's a position I want to one day hold."
There's been a lot of veep buzz around Abrams, who served as minority leader in the Georgia House of Representatives. She said if asked, she would join the Democratic ticket -- but added that no one has asked her, yet.
"It would be doing a disservice to every woman of color, every woman of ambition, every child who wants to think beyond their known space for me to say no or to pretend, 'Oh, no, I don't want it,'" she said. "Of course I want it. Of course I want to serve America. Of course I want to be a patriot and do this work."
And perhaps bolstering her chances of being picked by any of the candidates running, Abrams declined to endorse one candidate over the other, saying her "job right now is to fix our democracy" by ensuring everyone who's eligible to vote, can.
"My best service is to be in that neutral space where it's not about who the nominee is -- it's about making sure no matter who the nominee is, any person who wants to go and vote, can vote," she said. "That's what we're doing through Fair Fight 2020."

She should focus on paying back the $170,000.00 in credit card debt she undoubtedly recklessly accrued.
Those in hell want ice water too.
Stacy should get used to disappointment.
Perhaps she should just run....as in exercise.
Philosophy is a science which has questions for which there are no answers.
Mathematics is a science which has answers for which there are no questions. That's Stacey.
Big negative.......she cant fit in an AF two seat.
Git in line behind the oven mitt fashionista and Big Mike
It worked great in Germany.
Stacy is going to learn about mean Americans when she does that.
And the Soviet Union.

Stacy Abrams: Voter suppression is when people vote for the other candidate.
LOL!
They believe they have a “mandate from the masses” and that elections are just a “bourgeois trick”.
She’d have a new career if they did a Ghostbusters remake with an all-black cast. She could be the chocolate Stay-Puft Marshmallow Mammy stomping through mid-town Atlanta........
What makes that racist pig think that anyone would vote for her?
Swell, we get to hear “They stole the election” when she loses in a landslide and refuses to concede 4 well forever-
Really, Stacey;
You ‘will accept’ off for the VP position?
Has your phone been ringing with serious offers?
I tend to doubt it.
Everybody thinks that you still believe you won the
Governors Race.
Go fix yourself another Mayonaise Sandwich.
If she declined her seat, the nose would go up
