Before Biden made the pick, I looked at the list of top contenders and thought that Val Demings would have been the best choice.
The law and order background might have been useful to sway independents fearful of BLM.
Also, Val Demings is a full black, unlike Kamala Harris.
In retrospect Val Demings would have been a good VP pick, she would help keep Florida more competivie(especially central florida) and she is a married woman with children so she can appeal to more voters who are supportive of gender roles. Kamala doesnt have any children and is from California so I wonder if she may hurt him
I don't know who the voters are in Florida are who would vote for a ticket solely because the bottom of the ticket has someone who has represented a small part of the state for only a few years?
