So Joe and Stacy Abrams are on Lawrence tomorrow night together?

They certainly are keeping the corner logo up there. It says “Joe Biden with Stacy Abrams.”

10 pm is too late in the evening for any kind of announcement but something certainly is up.

It'll be interesting to see if he does similar events with the other potentials. OnDoutside May 2020 #5
It will. They're certainly all showing up.I saw Kamala on something yesterday but couldn't listen in nolabear May 2020 #12

I think he's done this with most of the challengers that have endorsed him, but I could be wrong. rogue emissary May 2020 #7

See if they have a good synergy.

(I hate that buzzword, but I couldn't think of a better term in a reasonable amount of time).

I can see her joining the administration, but does her time in the Ga. State House make her ready to "step in" at a moment's notice?

Lawrence/MSNBC was able to book them, Joe for the hour, Stacey joining to discuss her voting efforts.

on the same program yes.

She'd be a bad choice for VP right now. Future she's going to be great, but not enough experience now.

Just because she's Black doesn't mean we AA voters are just going to sign on. Particularly when there are other Black women who have more experience to choose from.

She should challenge Kemp again, win, and then, after being a Governor, heck run for President with that experience.

I like Kamala but she doesn't carry a constituency he's not already got.

What happened to Amy Klobuchar? She seems to have vanished.

who is really going to add much in constituencies, probably not even Warren.

What will help is identifying someone everyone feels comfortable is up to the job if Biden dies or doesn't run for a second term. Someone like Harris.

and won't help flip any swing states. Don't think Abrams can either. There are still much better choices than any of them.

To me Klobuchar is too vanilla. We need some color on the ticket. After all, that's who put Biden over the top.

She's not got that much but way more than 45 did, or likely does.

Way too soon to announce that. Plus Abrams comes from Georgia and there is no chance to flip that state.

Most likely about some get out the vote effort.

I think Biden needs Stacy or Kamala. I like Warren but he needs to inspire black women voters.
