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.
“Running in a primary to be vice president is very different from someone who’s been selected by the party to be the nominee asking you to serve as a partner and I’m open to all options,” said Abrams. “I do not know if I’m running,” said Abrams. “I’m thinking about everything. Part of my opportunity right now is that I have a number of options I didn’t know about before and it’s the Senate race, it’s possibly running for president and my responsibility is to take seriously the opportunity, to give credibility to those who are asking me but to make sure I’m the right person, it’s the time right time and it’s the right job.
