Stacey Abrams says the vice presidency 'was not the core issue' discussed with Joe Biden during a recent meeting.
Georgia Democrat Stacey Abrams said Wednesday that"you don't run for second place" when asked about the possibility of being Joe Biden's running mate during the 2020 Democratic primary, saying that she is"open to a number of options right now."
In an interview on"The View," Abrams explained that"if I'm going to enter a primary, then I'm going to enter a primary. If I don't enter a primary, my job is to make certain that the best Democrat becomes the nominee and whoever wins the primary, that we make sure that person gets elected in 2020.
