Y'all can throw this in my face when I'm wrong, which I usually am. She's smart, tenacious, an ex-cop, and comes from a battleground state.

There was something about a peak at Biden's notes with Harris' name on them. I didn't get the particulars but that was driving the odds shift in Harris' favor early tonight

(7,220 posts)The only downsides I see for Demings are:
1. Former Police Chief (her husband is also a former Police Chief I believe). The Orlando police has a history of excessive force and lack of transparency, which she'll have to answer for. The last thing we want is for BLM to be against our VP pick.
2. She's only been a congress member since elected in 2016. (Yes, I realize our current POTUS had exactly zero public office experience, but we're Democrats, and...you know, different rules).
