Biden, Stacey Abrams Hold Private Meeting

The Associated Press reported that Stacey Abrams, who lost the Georgia governor’s office in a race tainted by voter suppression, and Joe Biden held a private meeting in Washington on Thursday. Spokesmen on both sides were close-mouthed, but it’s not too hard to guess that the 2020 presidential race was on the agenda.

According to AP, a person close to Abrams confirmed the meeting, saying it was set at Biden’s request. The meeting took place after Abrams had breakfast with another Democratic presidential hopeful, Kirsten Gillibrand, who tweeted a picture of them together. Democratic poobahs want Abrams to run for Senate, something she doesn’t seem all that keen on, while she has speculated about jumping into the presidential race.
