I could be ok with Abrams as a VP, but not top of the ticket until she's held a governorship or federal office.
I think Abrams should throw her hat in the ring.
Former Minority Leader of GA House of Representatives. I guess she's more qualified than the Mayor of South Bend.

I thought an SNL writer must have written the section about North Korea. Kim did more tests in a year with Trump as POTUS as his entire family had done in the past quarter of a century combined. Trump gave Kim credibility by having a public meeting with him. Then, rather than denuclearizing, NK has been building nukes at a record pace.
Kim couldn't have done better if he had been running both countries. It could be argued that no POTUS has had a worse "summit" in at least a hundred years.

“If there can be peace and legislation, there must be no wars and investigations.”
If choosing Beshear symbolized an effort to play on the president’s field and try to win some of his supporters, then choosing Abrams represents the opposite: a rejection of strategies aimed at that slice of white workers and an embrace of the diversity of the Democratic Party.
But there was more at work than just the visuals. Abrams’s rebuttal invoked her particular vision of an expansive “identity politics” that attempts to link the distinct concerns of various groups into a common struggle against broad disadvantage. She recently articulated this view at length in an essay in Foreign Affairs magazine, responding to a critique of identity politics by the historian Francis Fukuyama.
Last year, I was the Democratic Party’s gubernatorial nominee in Georgia and became the first African American woman in U.S. history to be nominated for governor by a major political party. In my bid for office, I intentionally and vigorously highlighted communities of color and other marginalized groups, not to the exclusion of others but as a recognition of their specific policy needs. My campaign championed reforms to eliminate police shootings of African Americans, protect the LGBTQ community against ersatz religious freedom legislation, expand Medicaid to save rural hospitals, and reaffirm that undocumented immigrants deserve legal protections. I refused to accept the notion that the voters most affected by these policies would invariably support me simply because I was a member of a minority group. (The truth is that when people do not hear their causes authentically addressed by campaigns, they generally just don’t vote at all.) My campaign built an unprecedented coalition of people of color, rural whites, suburban dwellers, and young people in the Deep South by articulating an understanding of each group’s unique concerns instead of trying to create a false image of universality.
Still laughing at this, btw.

oh man, I memory-holed that 2017 Steve Beshear response.

The reception to Abrams’s rebuttal from national Democrats was unbridled enthusiasm, prompting calls for a presidential run. But she appears more interested in a second run for statewide office in Georgia, either against the Republican incumbent David Perdue for the Senate in 2020 or against Kemp in 2022 in a rematch. This is another part of Abrams’s brilliance: a recognition that Democrats need to build power at all levels of government, not just in Washington.
Trump: No Ridiculous Partisan Investigations!
GOP: BENGHAZI! HILLARY'S EMAILS!
From the first link. Yep.
