UWS,
Biden lost Florida not because of the Hispanics. He lost it because African-Americans in South Florida did not turn out in the Numbers Democrats expected.
Demings doesn't create a huge amount of enthusiasm among AA in FL.
They needed someone like Obama or Gillum again!
She would be the first black female senator from FL, and first black senator from FL, correct? So I don't believe that
This analysis is so superficial
how is it superficial? what i'm saying is just like Obama getting record black turnout in 2008. when voters see a candidate in themselves, who has never done it before, they are usually more often to feel excited about that candidate. Demings would be a history making candidate in FL, so why wouldn't she excite at least a chunk of black voters?
Trump improved his showing among Florida’s AAs in 2020 despite Kamala Harris.
And also Demings’ record of overseeing police brutality in Orlando will not be well perceived among AAs and I guess it’s one of the reasons why Biden didn’t select her in 2020.
Trump had incumbency and Harris wasn't top of ticket.
Also, the only groups of AAs whose enthusiasm levels would be significantly lowered by her Orlando record are the evidently more extreme left prog types. Most blacks won't care or they would approve; and even if they did care it won't alter anything else about how they act.
