Val Demings for VP

Val Demings should be on the list for potential Dem. VP and she was a very early supporter of Joe Biden.

She would bring Florida into a Democratic win.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden

We just can’t count on Florida. It will inevitably be close. But with rethugs in charge there will be machine problems, long lines, and Dems will come up short. Again.

We need to focus on the midwest. We have D governors there.

Amy will help Biden win the suburban women we need to get rid of Trump.

He is already bringing them out to vote.

Florida is a swing state so Demings can help there. Plus she could energize the African-American vote the way Obama did and Clinton didn't.
