During her appearance onstage at South by Southwest, Abrams said that she’s thinking \"about what I’m going to run for next\" and was met with cheers and applause from the crowd.
\"We cannot have a president for a single population again,\" she said. \"That’s what we have right now. That is insufficient.\"

\"My task is to make certain that a Democrat is elected not only to the White House but that we have a Democratic majority in the Senate and a Democratic majority in Congress,\" she asserted.
She is among a shrinking group of Democrats still flirting with a presidential bid on the periphery of the growing field -- including former Vice President Joe Biden, the expected frontrunner, and former Rep. Beto O’Rourke, another political rising star.
Abrams skyrocketed to national prominence after narrowly losing a historic gubernatorial bid last year to Republican Brian Kemp in Georgia. Abrams was the first African-American woman to become a major political party's nominee for governor the United States.

Since losing the gubernatorial election in 2018, she has kept up a high profile. Earlier this year, she was the first African-American woman to deliver her political party's response to a State of the Union address. She also spoke at the Democratic National Committee's winter meeting and launched a voting rights advocacy organization.
As she continues to mull her own bid, Abrams told the crowd in Texas, \"I think beating Donald Trump is the wrong mission. When you are focused on your enemy, you are ignoring your allies. Our responsibility is to articulate a vision for America where we talk about who we are, what we want and how we serve our people. That is what a president is supposed to do.\"
She added, \"I don’t want us to elect the best bully, I want us to elect the best person.\"
