Stacey Abrams nixes Biden-Abrams ticket trial balloon: 'You don't run for second place' https://t.co/NMQUHWexBU





yahoo source--An idea floated by advisers of Joe Biden to designate Stacey Abrams of Georgia as his running mate before the primaries was dismissed Wednesday by Abrams herself.

According to multiple reports last week, the former vice president, who would be 78 on Election Day, might try to win over a younger and more diverse group of voters by forming a ticket with Abrams, who is 45, an African-American woman and former Democratic leader in the Georgia Legislature who won national attention in her spirited race for governor last year. According to Axios, Biden’s advisers were “debating the idea of packaging his presidential campaign announcement with a pledge to choose Stacey Abrams as his vice president.”
