Former Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams seems to be gearing up for a run — but for which office?
According to a Politico report, she has now met with Sen. Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) at least three times to discuss taking on Sen. David Perdue (R-GA) in 2020.
At the same time, she’s weighing jumping into the presidential arena, though she said she wouldn’t get into the race until much later, maybe even missing the first couple of debates.
“My responsibility is to analyze it, decide if that’s the job for me and how I can win,” she told Politico. “I believe based on my understanding of the contours of how to run a presidential race, September is actually an appropriate date.”
I’d think she be a much stronger Presidential candidate if see first ran for Senator. I like her, but experiencing Congress could only maker her stronger.
She has a much stronger possibility of winning a Senate seat than she does the Presidency. She would be a great Senator and it would be a great pick-up of a seat for the Democrats.
That said, she is far more qualified by both education and experience than Beto O’Rourke to be President.
How about Buttigieg’s VP?
Two young, articulate, caring, and very bright.
What’s not to like?
Same. As a general rule, I want my presidential candidates to have at least one of serious executive experience (former governor or cabinet secretary) or experience with national and international affairs (i.e., Congress).
So many people are impressed with Abrams. But her SOTU rebuttal speech was alarmingly mediocre. Does anyone have a link to some other speech or interview that demonstrates her qualities?
