Stacey Abrams is rumored to be a popular vice presidential pick in 2020.
ATLANTA — Former Vice President Joe Biden and Georgia Democrat Stacey Abrams met privately Thursday in Washington, bringing together two starkly different faces of their party as they both weigh their political futures.
Biden and Abrams represent starkly different identities for a Democratic Party in flux, with one an aging white man who is the consummate Washington politician and the other an up-and-coming black woman from Generation X who has become a national political celebrity even in defeat. Her star climbed higher when she delivered the Democratic response to President Donald Trump’s State of the Union address last month.
Abrams had breakfast Thursday with another Democratic senator running for president, New York’s Kirsten Gillibrand, who tweeted a picture of the pair. After meeting with Biden, Abrams was coy during remarks at the Roosevelt Institute’s and Economic Security Project’s “Bold vs. Old Conference” on economic policy. After mentioning the Senate, she continued with a jab toward the White House: “And then there’s this other job that ... I would argue is currently vacant.”
“My objective is to make sure I want to do that job. ... I’d not thought about the Senate before,” she said, an allusion to her still-strong ambition to be governor after already having served as minority leader in the state House.
