"SNIP.....

The Atlantic: “Biden’s campaign confirmed that he called Abrams, but didn’t say more. According to several people familiar with the campaign’s running-mate selection process, Abrams is not currently a likely choice.”

.....SNIP"

1. Well...

... he may go with an unlikely person. I've already decided - I am going to love the choice!

[helpisontheway]

2. I love Abrams and I think she should be governor of GA

right now. However, I don’t see her as a good fit as his running mate..HOWEVER, she could be a very good fit for his administration. I think she is a future star in our party.

24. I think that she would be an excellent Governor for Georgia.

I really believe that in 2022, she can rather easily defeat Kemp in a rematch.

I tend to agree, of the potential VP choices, she is the weakest. I think that Val Demming is starting to emerge as a strong possibility.

[NCjack]

3. I think it would be better for Biden to wait until the convention to speak to

his candidates. These types of stories are not helpful. It has to injure Abrams morale.

[Blue_true]

25. He has the vet the possibilities.

The last thing we need is a rushed selection process that misses red flags a candidate may have. Biden is doing it right.

4. Has Stacy Abrams even endorsed Biden as yet?

[nolabear]

12. She said she'd absolutely be his VP.

She was on the View a couple of days ago. She said she wasn’t going to be coy. She’d love the job.

[Skya Rhen]

21. That's right - she said what she wanted for herself yet hasn't offered her endorsement to him.

5. Stacey.

Also, just post the original article.

[greymattermom]

6. I like her, but I think her career as a racy romance novelist

isn't a good fit for Vice-President.

[delisen]

11. Would brutal sexy suspense novels be a better fit?

Should writers of novels not aspire to the office?

[calguy]

7. For all her good points......

She is in no way, shape, or from qualified to become president. She's a bright up and coming star but a place on the top ticket is way over her pay grade at this time.

[Blue_true]

26. She is better off laying the ground to defeat Kemp in 2022. nt

[FarPoint]

8. I agree..

She needs experience and exposure... Wonderful future VP ...😇

[Totally Tunsie]

9. Too early for her. Better candidates are at the ready.

Personally, I'd love to see Biden/Harris.

(Obviously, I'd have to be on board if Abrams were selected.)

[Dem4Life1102]

15. Harris is from a solid blue state

and won’t help flip any swing states. Her history as a prosecutor won’t help attract progressive voters to the ticket. There are better choices, maybe not Abrams, who could do both plus help energize the African American vote and didn’t accuse Biden of being a racist on national television.

[Totally Tunsie]

16. But you'd still vote for a Biden/Harris ticket, amirite?

Just as I'd vote for Biden/Abrams.

Sometimes we have to make compromises.

[Dem4Life1102]

17. Of course

Just don’t think Harris is the best choice to help win in November.

[Totally Tunsie]

18. That's OK.

That's how I feel about Abrams, but we're all entitled to an opinion.

It's really up to Joe anyway, and I trust his opinion.

[Dem4Life1102]

19. Never said I thought Abrams was either

She may help energize the African American vote but is unlikely to flip Georgia.

[womanofthehills]

22. Most believe she actually won in Georgia

[FloridaBlues]

10. Love her but she needs more experience to be VP

I can see her being in his administration.

[Dem4Life1102]

14. Experience doesn't matter in Presidential elections

Never has. Plus experience arguments only benefit incumbents.

[Sewa]

13. Stacy Abrams would be an excellent choice

Her communication skills are outstanding. Which would be a great help to Biden. But I which she was running for a senate seat.

[maxsolomon]

20. VP is typically given to someone with DC experience.

Leading the minority in a state house is not equivalent.

You're going to see this go to someone with DC experience and a national profile.

[Blue_true]

23. I know that some get fevers about her, but I am cold on her.

There are better female POC choices. I see where his heart is, but I think that Joe painted himself into a corner by saying his only choice for a VP would be a female, he should have left that more open, THOUGH, there are a lot more strong female choices than male ones.
