Stacey 'Boxcar' Abrams says she'll be president by 2040
|
 [Politico] Stacey Abrams, the former Georgia gubernatorial nominee whose name has been floated as a possible Democratic vice presidential nominee, predicted in an interview published Friday that she will become president within the next two decades.
After Abrams said she "absolutely" believed Americans would send a black woman to the Oval Office in the next 20 years, journalist Clare Malone of FiveThirtyEight asked: "Do you think they’ll elect you?"
"Yes. I do," Abrams responded. "That’s my plan. And I’m very pragmatic."
The prediction from Abrams, a former Georgia state representative, adds to the political intrigue and professional speculation around one of the Democratic Party’s most rapidly ascending stars. Abrams, who lost a close 2018 race to be governor of Georgia, has been mentioned by several White House hopefuls as a potential running mate.
Prior to her declaration Friday that she will seek the presidency before 2040, Abrams said in a March interview that 2028 "would be the earliest I would be ready to stand for president." In a subsequent tweet, however, she wrote that "2020 is definitely on the table," a run she has since ruled out.
In August, Abrams announced she would not enter the current Democratic primary and would instead focus her efforts on combating voter suppression and boosting participation in the 2020 census. But she also said in an interview that same month that she would be "honored to be considered by any nominee" as a vice presidential pick.
