Stacey Abrams shut down rumors on Wednesday that she would enter the Democratic primary as former Vice President Joe Biden’s running mate
Stacey Abrams, the former Georgia gubernatorial candidate, shut down rumors on Wednesday that she would enter the Democratic primary as former Vice President Joe Biden’s running mate.
“If I’m going to enter a primary, then I’m going to enter a primary,” she said. “And if I don’t enter the primary, my job is to make certain that the best Democrat becomes the nominee. And whoever wins the primary, that we make sure that person gets elected in 2020.”“Running in a primary to be the vice president is very different than someone who has been selected by the party to be the nominee asking you to serve as a partner,” she said. “And I am open to all options.
In an interview on “CBS This Morning” earlier Wednesday, however, Abrams said she believed that a woman or minority candidate would clinch the Democratic nomination and spoke of a need for the country to “start evolving what the face of leadership looks like.”
