Russell Simmons claims a reliable inside source told him Joe Biden has already picked Stacey Abrams as his running mate.
Biden’s camp announced a selection committee that will vet all of his choices for VP and that an announcement would be made in July.
But Simmons told his 1.6 million Instagram followers that a “very reliable top inside source” told him Biden chose Abrams as his VP.
“America’s next VP From a very reliable top inside source… Great news,” Simmons, 62, wrote in the caption of a photo of Abrams.
The failed Georgia gubernatorial candidate has made several public appearances as she shamelessly advocated to become Biden’s vice president.
Abrams was a potential top pick along with Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms, Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, and failed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.
Abrams, 46, will launch the New Hampshire Democratic Party’s virtual state convention on Saturday.
