Congratulations to our presumptive Democratic nominee, Joe Biden!
Stacey Abrams says a 2020 presidential run is still possible
PoliticoStacey Abrams, the former Georgia House minority leader who lost the contentious race for governor race last year, has not ruled out the possibility of running for the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination.
In an excerpt from a new interview for “Pod Save America,” Abrams simply replied “yes,” when asked whether she would ever consider joining the crowded pool of candidates.
Abrams’ name was previously floated as a possible running mate on former Vice President Joe Biden’s ticket, but Abrams bucked that notion during an interview on “The View,” saying, “You don't run for second place.”
“If I’m going to enter a primary, then I’m going to enter a primary,” she said. “If I don’t enter a 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.”

This would be a mistake.
