adding stacy abrams would fix that, right? >> absolutely. ng abrams would add an energy that would be -- that would give a boost to the launch. we've been judging a lot of these folks by the money but launch. what are they doing? what's the inspiration? what's the message? it would be all connected. clearly the money is important because what it does is when you see these small dollar donations, this grass root donation it shows there is a movement for your campaign and those are people you can go back to over and over again and so biden has never really done that before. let's not forget the last time he ran alone was 12 years ago. he was supposed to raise $20 million. he raised about $11 million. and so he didn't reach the number that he needed to at that time, and he dropped out right after the iowa caucus. so yeah, this is a different scenario for him that he's never experienced and yes, stacy abrams would add that energy. >> lastly, would she be the human ent human lock to say to white working class voters, he's okay. would she serve tha

if joe biden wants to win, he needs stacy abrams now. t recently with senators cory booker, kirsten gillibrand, kamala harris, amy klobuchar and elizabeth warren. her aides say beto o'rourke has not called and after losing to ted cruz last year in texas hasn't gone unnoticed. >> i would challenge people to consider why we were not lifted up in the same way. i think race plays a part. i want people to understand i may not look like the typical candidate but that does not diminish my capacity to run for this job. >> so abrams saying exactly out loud what democrats have been asking privately. why has she not been getting as much attention as beto or rourke and others have. erin, there is no question she is now front and center in the conversation. i am told yes she is thinking about a presidential run but is much more likely to run for the senate from that seat in georgia. she'll likely make up her mind sometime next month. >> thank you very much, jeff. >>> okay. so cnm political commentators, joan walsh, and former republican congresswoman

. >> how involved is he in this stacy abrams talk? >> it's interesting.sation with him. they are having it at his blessing, with his -- as he's listening to it. but we're told that stacy abrams, he enjoyed his conversation with her last week but there's not any decision of having this done on day one. advisers say he almost certainly will not announce a running mate at the very beginning. one adviser explained it like this. you don't throw a hail mary pass at the beginning of a game. >> you do not. you do not do that. jeff zeleny, thank you so much. you don't throw a hail mary pass at the beginning of the game. >> great quote. >> excellent. that's exactly what's going on here. what do you think about this reporting of jeff's? >> i'm pretty skeptical that the stacy abrams thing is a fully cooked plan. i was around the vice president for about a decade. while i didn't work directly for him he is somebody, to his credit, who loves to talk. he loves to play scenarios out. he loves to -- he has a very close-knit group of aides, who he has a lot of calls and me

the other thing that he has as a problem is, stacy abrams who i look upon as a big future part of the democratic party. she rebuffed his advances to be on his ticket pretty much. she said if i'm going to run, i will run for the whole thing. he's had a bad couple weeks. he doesn't have president

. >> stacy abrams. look, there is a lot of talk about her this week.lack woman governor, not just of georgia but in the country. she built up huge assets in georgia, even outside the state. she built up a lot of data, cell phones, volunteers. she raised more money than any other republican in georgia. i don't know if she's going to mount a 2020 campaign, but she was letting it be known i'm up for 2020. we'll see if she mounts a campaign, but i think it may have been the bottom of ticket, which gives someone a good candidate with not a lot of controversy surrounding her. she founded fair fight elections, fighting against voter suppression, so i think she'd do a great job at tv efforts. i think she's an amazing person since she was told, you don't look right. your hair is not right. you deny the role. we are redefining what electability means. she did a great job. >> a couple things on there. >> he almost stepped on my who on the week. >> i was watching that. >> he pulled back. he did get that answer from them, that he was saying that the person that spa

. >> when it comes back to running mates here, cnn has reported that joe biden has met with stacy abramsere is axios reporting this morning that some close to joe biden and his team are seriously considering an early vp pick even before he would be -- presuming i guess that he would be the nominee and that they are really seriously considering stacy abrams. what do you think of that and is it prezumptuous? >> i think joe biden has two really big things going for him right out of the gate. one is he's got that obama juju as his vice president for eight years. that's his self-proclaimed buddy. he really does sort of carry the obama mantel and obama is beloved in the party whether you are a moderate or progressive, obama is beloved. and he also has the electability factor. joe biden brings with him the ability to talk to white working-class voters, the voters that we lost in 2016 specifically in the states of pennsylvania, wisconsin and michigan. so he's got some strong things going for him, but he is also going to face some criticism right out of the gate. one of those criticisms is he is

stacy abrams. this is not a lose.has to win a democratic primary r she is a person who can bring him into the credibility he need in order to make that happen. >> that's a flawed analysis and i'll tell you why. the fact of the matter is the democratic party has gone completely far to the left over the cliff. we know for a fact most voters are independent they're not democrat or republican. uncle joe pulling in working class coalition of voters that is his strength. not going further to the left like a lot of candidates are, they will come back to the middle during the general election. stacy abrams may have a progressive record. that is fine and dandy but the progressive we're seeing green new deal which costs families $600,000 per family. this isn't a win for america. it is a lose-lose, if he makes the decision right out the gate, politics change day by day he will lose. charles: rashad, two things, we keep hearing how progressive and inclusive and forward thinking the democrats are, we keep seeing poll after poll sa

there is a piece out this weekend in the post by stacy abrams and her coming into this field.ange the field and change the dynamics dramatically if she were to come in? >> not entirely. you know? stacy abrams brings something to the table and talks about voter suppression and depressing issue but rallying candidates don't n use that as a way to get into office. she lost by a point and a half to the sitting governor in georgia but needs to be considered a viable candidate for the presidency. if she runs against david perdue who more or less aligned himself with president trump in recent years through trying to push legislation like the rays act is a tough immigration proposal, you know, a good window for her to capture that seat in 1920 given the -- >> why does stacy abrams have to win a statewide race to be considered a candidate for the president and beto o'rourke does not? >> oh, no. i make the same criticism for beto o'rourke too. he didn't win texas in 2018, so that criticism of stacy abrams also applies to beto o'rourke and i don't think he is a viable candidate as well.

. >> what about stacy abrams or beth t be beto o'rourke? >> i love stacy abrams. she's a rock star. whatever she decides to do, she's going to have a lot of support. she's authentic, incredibly smart, and she resonates. people were excited about her in 2018. i'm excited to hear what she's going to do next. >> would republicans be concerned about a stacy abrams candidacy? >> so i think everything you said about her positive traits, i would agree with. i think it's very difficult -- and beto is a friend, i served with committee on him, very difficult to lose a statewide race and turn around and run for president. having said that, to your point, if i am a democrat right now, i would like to see as many democrats come to the table with as diverse a background and set of expeernsriences as possible. you want your party to be reflective of the american party. i think it's good she's part of the conversation. >> just one more thing. beto and stacy abrams did something that was pretty exciting, which they really energized the democratic base, young people, people of color. that's what the

you know, stacy abrams is ambitious and talented.hink what you see in these polls where no candidate besides the known quantities, has managed to break out of the pack. what you see is these candidates don't have well-defined lanes yet. you know, when you talk about the potential lanes for candidates, there are ideological lanes, who is the most progressive, who is the knotts moderate to conservative. there are generational lanes, who's a fresh face? who represents a new and compelling voice? and then there's also demographic lanes in a party that's more diverse than ever, there are a lot of democrats who would like to see an african-american woman, or just something other than the same old white men on top of the ticket. so i think there are a lot of potential openings for stacy abrams, but i think the most -- the biggest opening for her is she's a very compelling candidate. >> errol, before we go, you see the way the president is going to approach this race are democrats giving him an opening to do that by some of the standard bear

he has had a big accomplishment, but so did stacy abrams. there are a lot of other candidates who accomplished a lot. it is not clear to me why he is on the cover of vanity fair and kamala harris isn't. >> i want to know why do you think it is? >> i think that there is still an issue in this country where people just get very, very excited about white men. i don't know what the other explanation is. i shouldn't say white men, men. i think we saw the same thing with barack obama. kamala harris is an incredibly charismatic obviously brilliant woman. it's not clear to me why beto o'rourke is getting this kind of royal treatment that she's not getting or frankly stacy abrams who is incredible. like the first time i saw her i thought this woman should run for president. i just think that the media can help create a lot of this. so i think people have to be conscious of that. >> and she may jump in this race, too, which she made very clear earlier this week with that tweet from stacy abrams. thank you both. really appreciate. >>> we have breaking

stacy abrams should be governor, leading that state right now.se] >> jesse: don't you think she should have just accepted the results of the election? >> ritchie: i'm not want to cry over spilled milk but we cannot ignore voter oppression is an issue, right? i think we have to acknowledge the fact that brian kemp to secretary of state so he was sort of the overseer of the vote. but i don't think we should beov looking at this as a loss for stacy abrams. this really was a winhe for the democrats and georgia becausee look how much of a vote they did get. they got 48% of the vote. that shows you the tide is turning in georgia, and we need to stop looking at this as something we lost and start looking at the wins and continue to fight for voting rights. >> jesse: i don't know how much voter suppression there is, actually. the democrats won 40 seats in the house. i do want to get to the new sound bite by hillary. this is breaking news right here. listen to mrs. clinton. >> i'm not running, but i'm going to keep working and speaking and standing up for

including stacy abrams.er about that and all that may come with a possible biden run with his friend, delaware democratic senator. >> vice president biden may now not announce his candidacy until late april. how late is too april? in terms of donor support? >> if there's anyone that can afford to wait a little bit longer before announcing, it's former vice president joe biden. he's probably got a 98% name i.d. among democratic primary voters and he's got the strongest progressive record among anyone that's currently running or who could run. so i think it's fine if there's a couple of more weeks between now and what i am hoping for which is his announcement that he'll be running for president. >> biden is reportedly considering choosing a running mate before the nomination is sealed up. perhaps even as he announces. would that be a smart move in your opinion? >> there are a lot of good potential running mates out there of those that are both already in the race and folks who are serving. i don't know what jo

. >> let's talk about stacy abrams. you are the perfect person to talk to about this because you are a senior adviser to her during her gubernatorial bid tweeting 2020 is definitely on the table saying i never thought i would be able to run for president before 2028 but life comes at you fast. she almost did unseat a republican governor. is this her moment or is this perhaps moving a little too fast? >> i think a couple of things. stacy abrams has really caught on fire not just in georgia but across the country, both her message, her personal story. she gets people very excited. she is someone, it's interesting -- she was talking about when she was 19 did a grid of all the jobs she would need to fight poverty. president was added later on. she is very methodical and planned out. there are a lot of people who would love to see her throw her hat in the ring. she is entertaining all ideas. obviously, as you know, she is very seriously considering a bid for the senate from georgia in 2020. so i think she is sort of consider

i'm sure he's a nice man, but stacy abrams and andrew gillum performed better.y fair" and getting all this fanfare. i think a bernie sanders and donald trump campaign would be a nightmare for the democratic party because trump would rightfully paint sanders as a socialist and that will be all anybody hears. joe biden is still the guy to watch, reverend, but i don't know if he's getting in or not. and amy klobuchar has been a disappointment because i thought she would do a lot better given she's from the midwest. i thought she acquitted herself well during the kavanaugh hearings, but she's not doing well in the polls. she's still at 2%. right now my money is on kamala harris. >> what do you say, david, about the host of candidates? >> well, i think what's impressed me so far is they have all had strengths. they've been strong out of the gate each in their own way. and so we have a few we don't know mainly joe biden we don't know whether he's getting into this race. but so far one thing we know about the democrats, they have health care plans that donald trump doe

any stacy abrams thoughts? >> she's of interest across the party. you have seen prominent activists saying it's more important we have a serious candidate in the senate race than yet another person running for president. if she runs she'll be a factor in the race for sure. it's harder to get on the 2020 train at this point than if you were beto and immediately while you were running for senate in texas you were already toying with the possibility. >> thank you very much, friends. >> great to see you guys. >>> not all democrats agree with nancy pelosi on impeachment. i will talk to a house democrat about why he thinks impeachment is inevitable. mascara in a snap. new snapscara from maybelline new york. smooth, clump-free volume. pure pigment formula means... it's on & off in a snap! no raccoon eyes. smooth, clump-free volume. new snapscara! only from maybelline new york. in the time it takes to brew a cup... here's the story of green mountain coffee roasters costa rica paraÍso. first, we go to san marcos, costa rica. and meet sergio. that's his daugh

good to see you, trace. >> it's not up to 40-year-old tracy abrams, academic stacy abrams' waiting forvernor's race. she is contemplating another run for governor in 2022 and is being heavily recruited to run for the senate. in fact, in recent days, abrams has met with kamala harris and other party leaders about potentially taking on g.o.p. senator david perdue in 2020. stacey abrams was raised in georgia and has put together a powerful resume. she did her undergraduate work at historically black spelman college in atlanta, studied public policy at the university of texas, and got her law degree from yale. then at the ripe old age of 29, she was appointed deputy city attorney for atlanta. she was then elected to the georgia assembly and became the first black woman to serve as minority leader for the georgia house of representatives where she built a reputation for working across party lines. georgia newspaper's abrams was instrumental with working with nathan deal on criminal justice reform and scholarship programs for low income georgia students. as a politician she has vowed to figh

on one hand they're self-aware and he's thinking of picking at a vp early and stacy abrams was out theref you like joe biden you should be glad that he's thinking about ways that could run to problems in the democratic nomination. on the other hand this is introducing your campaign by starting with the weaknesses. >> it's an attempt to compensate from weaknesses and i think it is a recognition on their part that he has to answer for. the party of joe biden has grown up with and in many ways has defined over different heards of time and they have to wrestle with that, and i think that the other question that they're grappling with is how do you make somebody who has been on the public stage for 40 years put aside how old he is at 76? how do you make a person like that seem fresh? one way to do it is to run a campaign that's different than other campaigns have been run and that's what they're trying it on do, but they've got -- i don't quite know what happened with the stacy abrams vp thing, but boy, they've had to roll it back quickly. >> he may have offered her to be her running mate at

i'm really biassed, i love stacy abrams. she did amazingly well in georgia, i think it was stolen from her and i think it is great that he is talking to her, i think every one of them should be talking to stacey abrams. black women and women in general will play a big role in the election, not just in the democratic primary, but also in the general election. this would be a bold move, an unprecedented move, but we're living in a time when donald trump is president, i think it is okay to have ease conversations. she is not a shrinking violet. she will make the decision of her own. >> i love stacy abrams. i think it would be rare, presump outand decemb anand des same time. i think it shows how worried he is about the concerns people have both about his age and his record, especially on criminal justice reform. i think if he is going to win the nomination he has to win it on his own. she would be a great vice presidential pick. i think if he says he would tap her it would raise some questions. >> do voters want something gimmic

what's your thought on the stacy abrams plan? a good idea, a bad idea for joe biden? separate out the stacy abrams name to that. i don't think it's a good idea. but not as a reflection on her. she's great. she should probably think about running, as much as anything else. i don't like the idea of someone who is running for president, which is essentially a job interview or going on a date saying, you know, i'm not sure that i can do the job alone. can you imagine if you were interviewing someone and they said hey, i brought my pal with me in case i can't do the job. it feels like a stunt, feels desperate. if he feels physically and otherwise ready to run and to serve he should do that on his own and not rely on any kind of gimmick that will also fail. it's practically odd. is everyone going to pick a vp? is everyone going to pick a cabinet? we're interviewing one person for a job. we're going on a date with one person. don't bring a friend. >> david drucker, i'm reading your piece in "the examiner," "republicans resign to trump losing 2020 popular vote but winning ele

the other thing that he has as a problem is, stacy abrams who i look upon as a big future part of the democratic party. she rebuffed his advances to be on his ticket pretty much. she said if i'm going to run, i will run for the whole thing. he's had a bad couple weeks. he doesn't have president obama. i think he's had the worst non-rollout for any would-be 2020 candidate on the democratic side. >> let me ask you one more question about this. i'm sure a lot of folks are saying there are women with that much worse about your boss, president trump. in terms of touching them inappropriately. >> we've certainly covered that ad infinitum during the campaign, transition and practically every day. look what's happening to the people who alleged all that. now they have to really grapple with what's going on in their own party with a man who was vice president of the united states. until two years ago. and so, let's have that conversation. i do think as somebody who's very affectionate. i tend to hug people. i now put out my hand because were not supposed to do that. we should examine appropria

on monday there was questions of his son's business dealings and stacy abrams saying she wouldn't be an early vp pick and did a campaign stop and a hell of way to run and he didn't make it out of the starting gate. the difference is that joe bide season a much bigger figure in the democratic party now than before he was president obama's loyal number two. the vice president, the wing man of obama and that counts for something. we are there's an open question about whether what some people say is a highlight reel of him i think the phrase that people use is being handsy with women is going to haunt him. he is a 76-year-old white male in a party that is trending toward being younger, more non white and progressive and combined could make it a very challenging environment for joe biden but i wouldn't count him in or out. >> aeysha, biden expressed regret of the clarence thomas hearings. listen to this. >> she was abused through the hearing. she's taken advantage of. her reputation was attacked. i wish i could have done something. to this day, i regret i couldn't come up with a way to ge
