Joe Biden and Stacey Abrams on Lawrence tonight at 10 ET

87. The VP choice is about bringing in the vote

Stacey Adams is very smart, if something were to happen to Biden, she could handle it.
But priority number one should be beating Trump, we need the A-A's to show up in droves.
I think Stacey Abrams can get them more energized than Kamala Harris, I even have a tiny concern about how Harris would behave, I didn't like the face she made when Schumer told her to keep it down or something. You can see it both ways on that exchange, but Schumer was driven to tell her to back off a bit.

Biden was impressed by Abrams years ago, and put her name out as soon as he announced, or even earlier.
Then after the debates were over, he made some noise about picking from the other candidates, so I got excited last night when I saw them together on the show.
It's probably a trial balloon, but it also shows that Biden is very impressed with her and she might be the leading candidate in his mind for VP.

Obama could have been elected President, straight from the Illinois State House, and he would have done the same job as President.
