Former Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams (D) has not been shy about saying that she thinks she would be an “excellent” running make for former Vice President Joe Biden (D). 

During an interview on ABC’s “The View” on Wednesday, Abrams explained why she has been open about her desire to be Biden’s running mate, “I try to be straightforward because while we hope the work speaks for itself, sometimes the work needs a hypeman.”

“And I learned early on that if I didn’t speak for myself, I couldn’t tell the story,” Abrams added.

She continued, “I think I would be very effective at helping us restore the dignity and the soul of not only America but helping those who have been left behind for so long finally see themselves as part of the solution.”

See Abrams’ comments below:

Abrams also stressed her desire to see Biden pick a woman of color as his running mate, “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 continued, “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.”

Finally, Abrams said, “We need a ticket that reflects the diversity of America.”

Abrams has previously said she would make an “excellent running mate” for Biden and added that she would be “honored” to be offered a spot on the ticket, as IJR previously reported.

Biden has committed to pick a female running mate and has begun the search.

Some of the other individuals who have been floated as potential vice presidential nominees include Sens. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.), Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.), and Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.).

And, Biden has said that he would even consider former First Lady Michelle Obama for the post if she said she was willing, as IJR previously reported — though former Obama White House senior adviser Valerie Jarrett said there is “no chance” that is happening.
