Biden will meet with Stacey Abrams in Atlanta

President Joe Biden will meet with Stacey Abrams while in Atlanta on Friday, according to an administration official, who said Abrams has "played a leading role in voting access and voter protection and she will be an important partner in taking action on this important issue moving forward."

"The President will be active on voting rights issues, not just in Washington, but also in the states, and this is an example of him doing just that," the official said.

The Associated Press was first to report on the upcoming meeting, which an Abrams aide later confirmed to CNN.

Abrams is widely seen as a star in the Democratic Party, having come off her 2018 gubernatorial loss to found the voter outreach organization Fair Fight. In 2019 she became the first Black woman to deliver the official Democratic response to a State of the Union address, and she was among the candidates considered as potential running mates for Biden.

I’m pleased with VP Harris but I was hoping Abrams would be considered for her passion.. her dedication n never, ever give up attitude. I love her.. and I’m very pleased with our VP choice. Lots of strong women leading the way 🙋?♀️

Frankly, I don't think she wanted the job at this time. Her heart is in Georgia and voter rights that will keep it blue.
