Stacey Abrams: I Would Be Happy To Be Joe Biden’s Running Mate

‘I have not been in conversation with Vice President Biden, but I’m very honored to be considered’

EXCERPT:

MELVIN: "It is perhaps hard to believe that we are roughly seven months out from a presidential election in this country. Perhaps you’ve heard that your name has been tossed about a fair amount as someone who could end up being number two on a ticket. Have you talked to the Biden campaign recently?"
ABRAMS: "I have not been in conversation with Vice President Biden, but I’m very honored to be considered. I believe I bring the experience in the public sector, the private sector, the non-profit sector. I’ve also done international work and I’ve been an effective leader. Just this year and last year I stood up a 20-state network to ensure protection of our elections. But more than anything, I’m committed to helping serve this country with the common sense, with the leadership and with the experience to work at the state and national level. Because we have to remember, part of the response we’re seeing right now in lieu of leadership from the national level has been our states, and it’s been my privilege for 11 years to help lead the state of Georgia as Democratic leader for seven years and state legislator for 11 years."
