New York Times: “How does a politician who a few years ago was described as a once-in-a-generation star, and has become a record-breaking fund-raiser and liberal darling, keep coming up short in her home state?”

“I’m nothing special. I’m just — I’m kind of relentless.”

— Staecy Abrams, in an interview with Rolling Stone, on what she did to turn out the vote and turn Georgia blue for the first time in 30 years.

“If Joe Biden manages to hold his slim lead in Georgia, he has one person to thank above all others, according to many Democrats and local officials: Stacey Abrams,” the New York Times reports.

“Ms. Abrams, a former minority leader of the Georgia House, has spent nearly a decade reconstituting the multiracial coalition for voting rights that sparked the 1960s civil rights movement and pushing a state once dominated by white conservatives into a more diverse era.”

Stacey Abrams told the Late Show with Stephen Colbert that she has not been asked by Joe Biden’s campaign for any materials required in vetting potential running mates.

Said Abrams: “I have said many times that if called I will answer but I’ve not received any calls.”

Elle: “Experienced politicians know there is a right way to answer questions about pursuing higher office. Be demure. Redirect. Convey vague interest while insisting never to have given it serious consideration. But Stacey Abrams does not give the expected answer when I ask if she would accept an offer from former vice president Joe Biden to serve as his 2020 running mate.”

Said Abrams: “Yes. I would be honored. I would be an excellent running mate. I have the capacity to attract voters by motivating typically ignored communities. I have a strong history of executive and management experience in the private, public, and nonprofit sectors. I’ve spent 25 years in independent study of foreign policy. I am ready to help advance an agenda of restoring America’s place in the world. If I am selected, I am prepared and excited to serve.”

“Abrams’s direct response betrays ambition, makes verifiable claims, and establishes outcomes to which she could later be held accountable. By normal political rules, it is the wrong answer. But as Abrams and I talk in March in the midst of the COVID-19 crisis, it is clear that normal political rules no longer apply.”

Stacey Abrams (D), who has boldly predicted that she’ll be president within the next two decades, told The View that “of course” she would be honored to be the vice presidential pick of whoever secures the 2020 nomination.

Stacey Abrams told the New York Times that she is open to becoming the running mate for “any” of the roughly two dozen Democratic candidates vying to take on President Trump in 2020.

Said Abrams: “I would be honored to be considered by any nominee.”

Stacey Abrams responded to whether former Vice President Joe Biden asked her to be his running mate, telling Morning Joe: “He did not.”

She also confirmed she was thinking about running for president, but said she didn’t think a decision needed to be made before the fall.

Said Abrams: “I’m not going to make a decision driven by other people’s timelines.”

“Stacey Abrams is set to reveal soon whether she’ll run for president or senator or something else,” Politico reports.

“But in recent months, the Democrat has mounted a nationwide, largely below-the-radar effort to expand her donor and political network that will make her an instant force whatever she decides.”

Asked about rumors that former vice president Joe Biden might consider selecting her as his 2020 running mate, Stacey Abrams told The View: “I think you don’t run for second place.”

She added: “If I’m going to enter a primary, then I’m going to enter a primary.”

“I will say the presidency wasn’t top of mind to begin with, but I think the success I had in our election, transforming the electorate, the work I’ve done as a business leader, as a civic leader, as a political leader, positions me to be just as capable of becoming the president of the United States as anyone running.”

— Stacey Abrams, in an interview with CBS News.

“Stacey Abrams, a rising star in the Democratic Party, said Monday it was possible she could seek her party’s presidential nomination next year,” CNN reports.

“Abrams’ comment came after an interview at the South by Southwest conference in Texas, where Abrams reportedly said she previously thought 2028 would be the earliest she could run for president, but over Twitter, she clarified: ‘Now 2020 is definitely on the table.'”

New York Times: “The flash of enthusiasm for Ms. Abrams came as no surprise to Georgia Democrats, who rallied behind her run to become governor there last year, which would have made her the first black women to lead a state. And her well-received speech Tuesday evening will most likely intensify the current efforts by national party leaders to recruit Ms. Abrams to run for Senate in 2020.”

“But some of her supporters and other Democrats are also asking whether she should be running for an even bigger position — and why the clamoring has been louder for some white male politicians to run than for her.”
