Biden advisers mull launch naming Abrams as running mate: report
By Avery Anapol - 03/21/19 07:52 AM EDT
Advisers to former Vice President Joe Biden are reportedly considering a 2020 presidential campaign launch announcement naming Georgia Democrat Stacey Abrams as his running mate.
Axios reported Thursday that Biden’s aides think pairing him with Abrams, a rising Democratic star who fought a tough gubernatorial campaign late last year, would show he is not “just another old white guy."
Biden, 76, has not yet jumped into the race, but would join a pool of Democrats historically diverse in age, race and gender.
Abrams, 45, was ultimately unsuccessful in her bid for Georgia governor, but has maintained a national profile and delivered the Democratic response to President Trump’s State of the Union address.
