One of the draws to Stacey Abrams is her strong voting rights record, particularly regarding turnout among black people.

by about 3 points. Data from Georgia has been scant, but Real Clear Politics polling averages have Trump up on Biden in the state. They also show, however, that the president's approval rating in the state is underwater."I think George Floyd's murder on the viral video is likely going to push white women to say that there should be a black woman vice president even at the expense of someone like [Sen. Amy] Klobuchar," Brown said.

Floyd, an unarmed black man, was killed by law enforcement on Memorial Day in Minneapolis. Research shows that white women respond emotionally to "humanitarian causes" like the Black Lives Matter movement, Purdue's Brown said, and are likelier to support a black woman candidate in this moment because of it.Other black women mentioned as candidates include Harris and Florida Rep. Val Demings.

But in a presidential election, voters have historically been driven to the polls by the candidate at the top of the ticket, not their running mate, according to William Hatcher, associate professor of political science at Augusta University. He added that most of the research was done before the Trump era, so it's possible that the selection matters more now.

Biden's campaign, which is expected to announce a running mate by early August, did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Did you just call her a dog?

FakeNews as Biden Campaign has announced those under consideration, which list does not include Stacey Abrams...

This would make the biggest landslide ever. Maybe even bigger than Reagan’s victory. I hope he picks her.

Can't trust someone who stole 50k from us taxpayers. I don't think she has paid her back taxes yet.

Damn I sure hope does considered, that would make it even easier for Trump!

Remember that the VP choice is actually the choice for POTUS. She’s not POTUS material.

Where’s my passport? This county will take a shit!! If those two are your choice!!

Would rather see Kamala Harris.

You have GOT to be kidding!!!!!!!!!

really? what is she under? seems more like the dog might be trapped UNDER her or maybe stuck in a skin fold

A heartbeat away from the Presidency you have to be out of your mind.

A sign of the insanity of the times Abrams is even considered.

'Underdog' you bastards, calling an accomplished woman of color an underdog. 😂

Not just an underdog. 0% chance she,is chosen or even considered

she is radical & has toxic positions & presentation ! as my father would say, she could 'piss' OFF Jesus Christ !

The fight to be a bitch getting groped all day.

She is not on the finalists list

The human solar eclipse. Will they have to move the convention to Browns Stadium to accommodate her fat begging ass?

No one has done more with a losing brand than Stacey Abrams. It’s amazing how persistent and confident she is even though she’s famous for losing.

There was a time when “offending” Karen would get you LYNCHED. Now it’s time to DEFUND KAREN!!
