Ms. Abrams, who drew national attention during her unsuccessful run for governor of Georgia last year, said that she would focus her next year on identifying and stemming voter suppression efforts throughout the country, a major priority for her for years, instead of running for president or the Senate.
But she has remained close to the presidential race, meeting privately with several candidates and topping lists of potential vice presidents.
On Tuesday, Ms. Abrams spoke to The New York Times about why she decided not to run for president, how she feels about the possibility of being on a 2020 ticket, and why Democrats should not shy away from the politics of identity.

How do I know that?
I just do.
If its Warren or Harris as our nominee , they will choose from Booker, Castro or Beto as Veep.

(6,231 posts)I still say that Biden is the best Dem to beat trump. trump does not want to run against Biden. That says it all. If Biden runs with a strong progressive Dem woman, it will be a formidable ticket. Go Joe.
