In an interview on ABC’s “The View,”Stacey Abrams said Wednesday that if former Vice President Biden does not pick a woman of color as his running mate in November, it would be a “a slap in the face” to Black voters.
“I think Vice President Biden is going to make a smart choice, and I appreciate the fact that he has lifted up women as being a necessary partner in this,” she said.
Adding, “I would share your concern about not picking a woman of color because women of color — particularly black women — are the strongest part of the Democratic Party, the most loyal, but that loyalty isn’t simply how we vote. It’s how we work, and if we want to signal that that work will continue, that we’re going to reach not just to certain segments of our community, but to the entire country, then we need a ticket that reflects the diversity of America.”
Abrams told Elle she’d be “an excellent running mate,” and also promoted herself during a recent interview with CBS This Morning — check out the clip below.
