Stacey Abrams weighs presidential decision, defends Biden

"We cannot have perfection as a litmus test," Abrams said during an interview on MSNBC.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Democrat Stacey Abrams says she doesn't expect to decide on a presidential bid until the fall because "the average voter is not paying attention until Labor Day."

On MSNBC on Thursday, Abrams also offered support for former Vice President Joe Biden, who has acknowledged that his tendency toward physical displays of affection made some women uncomfortable and has promised to be "more mindful" of respecting personal space.

Abrams says "we cannot have perfection as a litmus test" for leaders. She says Biden "has created context for why that is his behavior and he has affirmed that he will do something different going forward."
