In an interview with Elle Magazine, former Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams characterized herself as an “excellent VP candidate:"
“I would be an excellent running mate. I have the capacity to attract voters by motivating typically ignored communities.”
Abrams’s name has been floated within talks of Joe Biden’s vice presidential choices after she gained name recognition in the 2018 midterms. After losing to Georgia Governor Brian Kemp (R-GA) in 2018, Abrams famously refused to concede, claiming that “democracy had failed” and that voter suppression denied her the governorship:
Full Speech: Stacey Abrams Ends Candidacy For Georgia Governor
Abrams acknowledged that her loss in a governor’s race that was nationalized by the Democratic Party, and fueled by identity politics, is a huge part of her political repertoire, but insisted that she is ready and willing to serve as VP:
“I am very self-aware, and I know that my résumé...is usually reduced to ‘She didn’t become the governor of Georgia.’ But it is important to understand all the things I did to prepare for that contest,” Abrams said.
Abrams’ strategy in auditioning to be Biden’s running mate is diametrically opposed to other top contenders, especially Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer (D-MI) and Sens. Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) and Kamala Harris (D-CA). The aforementioned women, among others, have remained quiet about a potential vice presidential tap, at least outwardly.
Given her rhetoric centered around identity politics, refusal to fully accept responsibility for her 2018 loss and her tired narrative of unproven "voter suppression," Abrams as a vice presidential candidate would be a gift to the GOP and President Trump's re-election, to say the least.
Please post her picture.
pleasepleasepleasepleaseplease.
Well, all the black wimmin who are married to the gubmint teat would vote for her.
Please, no one dissuade Biden from doing this.
She...er, um, whatever...would be toxic to the entire electorate, including black males.
Between the two of them, not a single sentient sentence would ever be uttered.
I think she meant to say: "stable mate"
So humble.
As far as being able to take over and run the Country, she is among THE WORST possible choices! But of course Idiot Joe isn't concerned about that.
Or maybe
“I would be an excellent waddling mate."
“my résumé...is usually reduced to ‘She didn’t become the governor of Georgia.’”
Don’t sell yourself short. Much more so much more.
I’m rooting for the blob from GA.
yes, she would be great, quite ready to assume the role of President in the days after the election when Biden needs care.
She would add “weight” to the Biden ticket...
I swear, it’s almost as if Trump is paying her to say these things.
It is still Hillary ‘s turn.
A nasty commie—is there anything worse?
She won’t concede not being chosen as the VP candidate!
