Stacey Abrams said she believes a woman or minority candidate will win the Democratic primary in 2020 amid speculation that she's being considered as a running mate for former Vice President Joe Biden
Stacey Abrams said on Wednesday that she believes a woman or minority candidate will win the Democratic primary in 2020 amid speculation that the former Georgia gubernatorial candidate is being considered as a running mate for former Vice President Joe Biden.
Earlier this month, rumors emerged that Biden invited Abrams to lunch to discuss the possibility of joining his ticket in his not-yet-launched presidential campaign. When asked about the conversation Wednesday, Abrams did not give a clear answer.The 45-year-old African American from the South could appeal to a different block of voters than 76-year-old Biden, a partnership possibly aiming to bring together a disjointed Democratic Party.
Only recently has Abrams said she would consider her own run for the White House in 2020, a move she earlier this year said she wouldn’t consider until 2028.
