When it comes to becoming president, Stacey Abrams is expressing that she would “absolutely” want to run someday.

Abrams — who lost in the 2018 gubernatorial election for Georgia governor — told the ladies on “The View” on Monday, “Why should we not want someone to have the power to fix the problems and the brokenness that we have?”

“I want to do good, and there is no stronger platform than president of the United States,” she continued. “And that’s a position I want to one day hold.

Abrams also addressed her past remark on the show where she said she would not want to run for vice president because “you don’t run for second place.”

See her previous remarks below:

During Monday’s show, she shared that she would “of course” be “honored” to run as the vice president with the Democratic nominee.

“It would be doing a disservice to every woman of color, every woman of ambition, every child who wants to think beyond their known space for me to say no or to pretend, ‘Oh, no, I don’t want it.’ Of course I want it.”

“Of course I want to serve America,” she added. “Of course I want to be a patriot and do this work.”

Abrams has previously expressed openness to a run for president.

She said last May when there were over 20 Democrats already vying for the party’s nomination in the 2020 presidential election that she was considering jumping into the race.
