Analysis: In her comments on Biden, Stacey Abrams offers a vision for the Democratic Party
By Eugene Scott Eugene Scott Reporter covering identity politics for The Fix Email Bio Follow April 5 at 5:41 PM In responding to a question about former vice president Joe Biden’s controversial interactions with women, Stacey Abrams — who is considering entering the 2020 presidential race — offered a compelling vision for the Democratic Party.
In response to a question about Biden, Abrams challenged her party to make room for imperfections in its next leaders: Abrams’s comments come as Biden faces tough questions about his treatment of women. In the past week, seven women have come forward to say that Biden violated their personal space or touched them in ways that made them uncomfortable. He has not apologized, but has said it was not his intention to cause discomfort. And he released a video explaining that he is listening to those who feel disrespected and learning from them.
