Pulse of DU poll- The Biden Veepstakes

[LaMouffette]

53. I'm for Val Demings, too, but Kamala Harris or Stacey Abrams would also be wonderful.

Here's why I like Val (to save time, I copied this from an earlier post I did):


I have enormous respect for both Kamala Harris and Stacey Abrams, and I believe either of them would make excellent VPs. But looking further down the road, I think Val Demings might have a slight edge over Harris and Abrams to be president after Joe Biden. I have only recently "alerted" to Demings and her potential as VP and future president, and I have just started reading up on her and watching her interviews on YouTube, but my first impressions are that, along with her many wonderful qualities and impressive background and experience, she has that crucial presidential gravitas. Watching her questioning the witnesses during the impeachment process, she reminded me a little bit of Barbara Jordan during the Nixon impeachment trials. Plus, she's a two-term Congresswoman from Florida (a state with 29 electoral votes), she is a former police chief with a sensible approach to gun control, and—fun fact—she rides a Harley!

But in the end, I would be thrilled to have Kamala or Stacey or Val for VP and then president.
