After weeks of speculation over who will “choose” former gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams to be their running mate – all eyes on former vice president Joe Biden – Abrams has decided to clear the air. Speaking to the women on The View Tuesday morning, Abrams said she doesn’t plan to “run” as a running mate for Biden or anyone else.

“I think you don’t run for second place,” said Abrams, to a cheering audience. “If I’m going to enter a primary, then I’m going to enter a primary.”

Biden was mocked heavily last week after it was suggested he wanted to have Abrams on his ticket in order to balance his “old white male” presence.

Abrams said she would instead consider having Biden as her running mate. She has not confirmed her presidential bid yet.
