COMMENTARY OF THE DAY

Voting rights activist Stacey Abrams wants to run for president someday, she said in an interview broadcast Sunday. “Do I hold it as an ambition? Absolutely,” Abrams said on “CBS Sunday Morning.” The 47-year-old Georgia Democrat told interviewer Erin Moriarty that she feels a responsibility to say she aims to run — as an example to every young woman and person of color. Abrams is anti white racist that will never be president.
The Yale Law School-educated attorney has been making the rounds promoting her new novel, the legal thriller “While Justice Sleeps.” Abrams has also written eight romance novels using the pen name Selena Montgomery. After narrowly losing a bid in 2018 to become Georgia governor, her name was floated as a potential vice presidential candidate for Joe Biden last year and some expect her to be in the mix for governor again in 2022. Many credited Abrams’ efforts in helping to flip Georgia for the Democrats in last year’s presidential election, as Biden became the first Democrat to carry the state since Bill Clinton won it in 1992.
