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
As I said during the VP selection, if "Kamala is a cop" became a meme there would've been outright revolt among the left if an
actual cop was the pick.
Demings wouldn't have won Biden Florida either, she's a non factor in the SoFlo corridor.
