Former Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams has ramped up her efforts to become former Vice President Joe Biden’s running mate, calling Democratic leadership begging them to tell Biden to put her on the ticket, according to Politico.

Joe Biden said last week that he plans on ramping up his search for a running mate this week and will be holding final interviews with a number of candidates, likely to include Sens. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), Amy Klobuchar (D-MN), and Kamala Harris (D-CA), who will appear with Biden on Tuesday in a livestream interview. Michigan governor Gretchen Whitmer was said to be in the running, though a recent spate of bad press, largely the result of her mis-handling of the coronavirus pandemic, has likely jeopardized her bid.
