Lee is 70. I think I would rather see some youth (under 60) to help balance the ticket.

Demings has a strong background at the local and national levels, including her recent exposure in the Impeachment trial, though her police background will be a turn-off for some.

I will admit that I would prefer Harris to any of the others mentioned. Sufficient background at local, state, and national levels. I am not opposed to her law-enforcement background. I would rather see her as VP for a term or two before taking the top job. But I think she would be more ready for the presidency, if it came open early in the next term, than many others mentioned.

Just my thoughts.

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