Jessica Tarlov: Val Demmings Could Help Biden In “A Very Serious Battleground” Like Florida
On Fox Across America with Jimmy Failla, Fox News Contributor Jessica Tarlov explains why having Rep. Val Dennings (D-FL) on Joe Biden’s tick could help him win a very contentious state like Florida.
“What I think is valuable about her experience, first of all, she was boots on the ground. She wasn’t sitting in an office. She worked her way up the system, and I believe her husband is also a cop. She was the first African-American woman to hold that position, it’s obviously a big job in Orlando. And I think it’s a big value add for her case that she knows both sides of the issue. She wrote an op-ed in The Washington Post calling for police reform and making a very impactful argument, as someone who’s experienced the system, who has served in the system as well and can point out racial biases. And I think that that could be used as a strength. And also, Florida is looking like a very serious battleground right now. Biden has a slight edge there, and senior voters are turning on Trump now, Democrats have about a 10 point advantage. So I think that she does have a lot working in her favor.”
