Stacey Abrams predicts female or minority candidate will prevail as Democratic presidential nominee

By John Wagner John Wagner National reporter leading The Post's breaking political news team Email Bio Follow March 27 at 11:59 AM Stacey Abrams, the Georgia Democrat who narrowly lost her race for governor in 2018, said Wednesday she believes a woman or a minority candidate will win the Democratic presidential primary next year and said she is considering her own bid.

A Biden spokesman last week dismissed rumors of “a pre-cooked ticket” as false, and during Wednesday’s interview, Abrams said she and Biden had talked but that serving as his running mate “was not the core issue.”Appearing later Wednesday morning on ABC’s “The View,” Abrams said she is “open to all options,” including her own White House bid.She suggested that if she runs for president, it would not be with the aim of winding up as someone else’s choice for vice president.

“Whether we think he has taken sufficient responsibility will be determined as the process continues, but I think he’s begun the process appropriately by saying, ‘I know there’s pain, and I want to respond to that pain,’ ” Abrams said. Senate Minority Leader Charles E. Schumer is trying to recruit Abrams to run for the Senate next year.

I hope the hell not.

...and in other valid news: realDonaldTrump wins big in 2020!

But we already had one ... did not worked

Thanks staceyabrams for being so smart on The View. I respect John McCain's legacy, but don't understand what Meghan McCain contributes to anything?

How about a gay male

Something tells me if she were clairvoyant, she’d have known thenputcome of her own election.

Let's not put minority or a female on the ticket just so we can check that box. Let's put candidates who are really qualified. Who are passionate and with charisma.

Really going out on a limb there since her party doesn’t hate white men at all...

Buttigieg2020

Tulsi2020

It won't be her

Lol

DarrellSr9 Do you want to win?

Hopefully from the extreme left, with core theme of open borders and voting by non-citizens, including illegal aliens.

Dems need white male nominee to win

Does 'Beto' count as a Minority since he 'identifies' as Hispanic? ...........😂😀

Bernie’s a minority candidate. come at me, antisemites

Well, as long as we consider a gay man to be part of a minority. Which he is. An oppressed minority.

I think she’s right.

Don’t care yet. Stop obsessing so you can tear down all candidates

SHE won't.

Is it just me or is this kind of a stupid headline? I mean, here's a woman who's going to run for VP and she's making predictions........... MissCleo

I will just not vote if this is the case tbr

Democrats have nominated a female or minority candidate the last three election cycles. They need an old white guy to get out of that rut.

Thanks for the thought but I’d rather we just vote for the best candidate... Bernie

Fortune Teller?

We will have a First Gent in the WH. It will be Chas10Buttigieg though.

Wow!!! You mean out of a field of 40 women and minorities that a woman or minority might get the nomination? That is pure prophecy right there.

I predict Yuge victory for BernieSanders

.. Nope.. We need Biden to pull this train wreck out of the tulles..Humpty Trumpty is broken and Joe is the person people trust to rebuild ..

She's right and I hope she decides to be that minority candidate who I know could win!

Is this before or after she's used as a black prop for old racist white democrat Joe Biden? slavelabor

Lose some weight

The American people are starting to awake and think for themselves....the biggest fear of the Main Stream Media!! Truth is Truth , no matter how much the media wants the American people to believe them...WWG1WGA!! We Love our Country!! We will not let the Democrats Destroy USA

Who cares!!!! Why is this a story

Probably true.

PeteButtigieg is who we need!

Absolutely correct. Maybe both? KamalaHarris2020

No one cares

Content of character and ability is what matters. Not gender or skin color.

Because herself was female and minority

Wishing it was her

Guess she has no plans of running with joe Biden 🤣

Big mama Abrams needs to sit down.

staceyabrams Dear Ms. Abrams as you are in the predicting business could you kindly predict for your followers the winning numbers for the next powerball?

No...Bernie Sanders is the pick. Stop this wishful thinking bullshit.

🙏🙏🙏

Uhhh JoeBiden

No, we want the best candidate. if the one that stands out from the pack is a female, then so be it, otherwise it is too sexist, racist and agist, not to mention very annoying when people are already married to their idea of who that person should be.

Hurray! Trump will Crush any female.

Opinion | Next to Stacey Abrams, Biden’s philosophy looks flawed and datedOpinion: This may be the first time anyone considered naming a running mate before even entering the race Unless Abrams herself is involved, I think it's entirely inappropriate for Biden and his team to name her as a potential VP. It's disrespectful to her and even more so, perhaps shows his insecurity about running. I hope he doesn’t. I really don’t. It’ll look like he’s using her. This would be viewed as a ploy by both sides.
