ATLANTA — Former Vice-President Joe Biden is putting off a campaign trip on behalf of Stacey Abrams, Georgia’s Democratic gubernatorial candidate. Biden had planned to come Thursday to Georgia, but the Abrams campaign and Biden’s office say he will reschedule for October during the closing stretch of her battle with Republican Brian Kemp. The Democrats’ delay almost certainly will help Biden and Abrams avoid competition for attention, in Georgia and beyond. Other would-be Democratic presidential candidates — Sens. Kamala Harris of California and Cory Booker of New Jersey — have endorsed Abrams and come to Georgia to campaign for her.
