Who is this Jerry Demings? Val Demings is her own person, with her own record that speaks for itself. Why are female politicians always tied to the record of a male counterpart? Hillary had to deal with this bs also.
I don't believe she will be chosen because of her law enforcement history which may become an issue in November. Heck, my girl Kamala has similar issues. However, I believe and I hope team Biden is better than using Jerry Demings' (whoever he is) problems to eliminate a female VP pick.
