Georgia Democrat Stacey Abrams, who has said she plans to be president within the next two decades, said Monday that "of course" she would be honored to be the vice presidential pick of whoever secures the 2020 nomination.
“The first time I was on here I got the question about running as VP during the primary, and I apparently famously said, ‘no, because you don't run for second in a primary,’†Abrams said on ABC’s “The View."
“However, because that conversation started, I’m now getting the question a lot from folks and the answer is of course, I would be honored to run as vice president with the nominee.â€
Abrams, a former minority leader in the Georgia state House who launched a failed bid for governor in 2018, added that, as a black woman, she’s in an “unusual position†of being considered the possible next vice president.
