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."

That’s a neat and nifty statement.
I will be using that in the future.
She can’t be on a ticket with Bloomberg. He would never allow her to drink her 70 oz. sodas.
No Big Gulps allowed through the Big Gap.
The woman with the greatest entitlement-to-accomplishments ratio in politics.
Hands down.
This dumb slob is the poster child for complete failure of universal suffrage.
Well, she’s nothing if not flexible........even at that weight.
Joe Biden had her in for lunch........hinting the VP nod was on the table (along with the fried chicken and watermelon wedges).
She later issued a statement saying she wasn’t interested in the VP, b/c accepting it would mean she would be “saving Biden’s ***.”
LOL.......now that’s funny.
President Trump, is that you?
LOL
Somehow I don’t think Trump will be choosing her for VP...
Abrams marched armed Black Panthers around Georgia alerting Georgians to what they were in for should she win.
She and Democrats cleared out every cemetery and drove every illegal alien in Georgia to the polls.......to no avail, Abrams got clobbered by Kemp.
She's an insufferable loser and cannot win any statewide election in Georgia.
Abrams knows the laws of politics: lose two statewide elections in a row and you're a cooked goose.
========================
She’s a greedy Democrat with massive debts so she’s focused on making money from her losses.
She connivingly started a do-good non-profit and nominated herself chief check-casher ...... a money-grubber for years to come.
We narrowly dodged that bullet in 2016.
We have a winner!
Bloomberg/Aunt Jemima 2020
She can carry him around in her purse like a bottle of hot-sauce.

Failed former mayor of the 308th largest city in the US and former minority leader in the Georgia legislature.
Ready to step in and head the federal government.
This just astonishes me.
I have yet to figure out who decided to elevate this gap-toothed hippo to the national stage. It’s as if she won the lottery.
I suppose she doesn’t mind being a useful Dim tool as long as the perks come along. This is the best they can find?
I don’t care about her weight or teeth. But her presumption astounds me.
Fat, ugly and stupid is no way to go through life.
Boy, would that boat STINK!
