Stacey Abrams signals 'concern' if Biden's VP pick isn't a woman of color
[POLITICO] Stacey Abrams
...sour grapes lo-o-o-o-o-ser (Loser! Loser! Loser!) of the 2018 Georgia governor's race. Now she wants to be somebody's vice president so she can sour grape about that too...
 said Wednesday that former Vice President Joe Foreign Policy Whiz Kid Biden
...You're a lyin' dog-faced pony soldier...
 should pick a woman of color to be his running mate in November.

Last month during the final Democratic primary debate with Sen. Bernie Sanders
...The only first openly Socialist member of the U.S. Senate. Sanders was Representative-for-Life from Vermont until moving to the Senate for the rest of his life in 2006, assuming the seat vacated by Jim Jeffords. He ran for the 2016 nomination for president, to be cheated out of it by Hillary Clinton, then went back to being an Independent socialist, waiting for 2020 to roll around...
, Biden committed to selecting a female running mate. The former vice president and presumptive Democratic nominee has further indicated he might seek out a woman of color to join his ticket.

In an interview on ABC’s "The View," host Sunny Hostin asked Abrams, the former Georgia Democratic gubernatorial nominee, if Biden not picking a woman of color would amount to "a slap in the face" to black voters who made up the backbone of his primary support and were critical to his come-from-behind victory in the primary.

Abrams, who is black, initially sidestepped that charge, telling Hostin that "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."

Still, 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, 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."
