Stacey Abrams said she has not been actively “pitching” herself as a vice presidential contender as Joe Biden engages in the process of selecting a running mate.

“I want to push back. I haven’t been pitching myself, which has been a mischaracterization, I think,” Abrams told CNN International host Christiane Amanpour on Wednesday. “I answer questions honestly. I’ve been getting this question for 14 months, since March of 2019. I’ve repeatedly received the question, and I’m honored that people would put me into the category and think that that was a question to ask.”
