Abrams is also tossing her hat into the ring for consideration.
During his debate with Senator Bernie Sanders on March 15, Joe Biden proclaimed he would pick a woman to be his Vice President if selected as the Democratic nominee. Biden was emphatic that is choice would be reflective of the nation; as he said during the debate,"If I'm elected president, my Cabinet, my administration will look like the country." Immediately, this declaration launched pundit speculations as to who Biden should choose.
ADVERTISEMENT Stacey Abrams is tossing her hat into the ring for consideration. During an interview with The View on Wednesday, Abrams disclosed that she believes Biden should go a step further and pick a woman of color to be his running mate. On why she feels Biden should go this route, Abrams said, “because women of color — particularly black women — are the strongest part of the Democratic Party, the most loyal, but that loyalty isn't simply how we vote.
Abrams became known nationally in 2018 after her gubernational race in Georgia. Abrams lost to Republican Brian Kemp and has been an advocate for voters’ rights, fighting against voter suppression and gerrymandering—factors that led to her loss. Abrams launched Fair Fight Action, an organization that aims to raise awareness on election reform and offers voter education to help people prior to taking to the polls.
