Demings: 'I would be honored' to serve as Biden's vice president
Rep. Val Demings (D-Fla.) said Wednesday that she would be "honored" to serve as former Vice President Joe Biden's running mate as speculation swirls around a number of potential Democratic vice presidential nominees.
"If asked, I would be honored to serve alongside Joe Biden and do everything in my power to get this country back on track, not just here in the nation, but around the world,'' Demings said on MSNBC's "Morning Joe."
"I have dedicated my life to public service and having served as a social worker, a career law enforcement officer, police chief, and now a member of Congress, I chose tough jobs," Demings said.
"As I look at the condition of our country, and the absolute lack of leadership, at the very least we ought to have a leader we can trust. We don't have that right now."

Seriously, she would probably be a good choice, but obviously would activate the white supremacist base. We outnumber them, and frankly I'm tired of picking our candidates based on what Repubs think. I don't know a lot about her, but a relative unknown would probably be a wise choice. She certainly seems competent and level headed.
I'm not totally sold on how important the VP choice is to winning in November, but I do know it most probably has to be a woman of color. There are several out there that I know of, and probably more that I don't know and that's OK. Susan Rice would also work, especially as she has some international experience.
Whoever it is, she will likely be leading the ticket in 2024. I lived to see a black president. I wanna live to see a woman president.
