Stacey Abrams Says She’s “Willing To Serve” As Joe Biden’s Vice President If He Chooses Her

Former Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams is ready to be Joe Biden’s running mate if he chooses her.

Speaking on Meet the Press on Sunday, Abrams said: “As a young black girl growing up in Mississippi, I learned that if I didn’t speak up for myself, no one else would.”

“I was raised to tell the truth, so when I’m asked a question, I answer it as directly and honestly as I can. So my mission is to say out loud, if I’m asked the question: Yes, I would be willing to serve,” she said.

Last month, Joe Biden said he would pick a woman to be his vice-presidential running mate.

At the time, he said there were “a number of women who are qualified to be president tomorrow.”

Abrams is among a strong list of potential female running mates, including Elizabeth Warren, Kamala Harris, and Amy Klobuchar.

According to Huffington Post, Biden said he will choose a selection committee for his running mate by May 1, and announce by July.
