Stacey Abrams Endorses Joe Biden for U.S. President

(Bloomberg) -- Stacey Abrams, the former minority leader of the Georgia House of Representatives, has endorsed Joe Biden for U.S. president, pointing to his commitment to fighting climate change, leading an economic recovery and protecting every eligible American’s right to vote.

“While marginalized communities struggle under Donald Trump’s failed leadership and people of color face disproportionate consequences of COVID-19, Joe Biden will take no one for granted,” Abrams says in a statement about the presumptive Democratic nominee Biden.

Abrams was Georgia’s Democratic candidate for governor in 2018 and the first African-American woman to become the gubernatorial nominee for a major U.S. party. She has expressed interest in being Biden’s presidential running mate.

She is the founder of the Fair Fight, an organization dedicated to fair elections.
