      I suspect Ms. Abrams is making this much easier for Team Biden.https://twitter.com/JimSwiftDC/status/1250472912978694145 …

      Abrams will not attract anti-Trump Republicans (like me). It would be a mistake to pick her. https://twitter.com/esaagar/status/1250414055879213057 …

      I was asking this question months ago. For all the Biden NeverTrump people, what happens if he picks a far-leftist as his VP. Ah well...

      The problem with Abrams, IMHO, isn't that she's far left. She's 1) never won statewide (sorry Stacey!); 2) comes across as a flake over 2018 results; 3) no solid body of work you want in running mate to a 76 y.o. Several D women meet latter standard. She doesn't.

      That can be written off as Trump had no experience either pretty easily. The biggest weakness is she immediately eliminates that "What if Trump doesn't concede" argument, and that's been a huge hobby horse.

      If Biden is running as "competent return to near-normalcy," he can't have a running mate that completely undercuts that message. Think the awkward McCain/Palin dynamic, except worse. And Biden is 10 years older than McCain was then.

      Both of the sets of problems you guys note are real & being ignored by Abrams boosters. Biden's age will put his VP under an instant microscope unlike most VP picks. And Abrams is Palin if Palin had lost her GOV race in 2006.

          Also I don't understand the central argument - that she can bring in African American voters. Isn't this the voting block that Biden doesn't seem to have a problem with? He needs the midwest. Not Georgia.

          Counter-argument would be that black voters like but don't love Biden, so a high primary share does not equal a high fall turnout. Theory of picking a black VP is not necessarily flawed, in that regard. South has huge # of Senate races, & black turnout matters a lot in MI & PA.
