Val Demings: ‘I would be honored to serve alongside Joe Biden’ as vice president

U.S. Rep. Val Demings of Orlando said Wednesday she would accept the Democratic nomination for vice president if Joe Biden chooses her for the job.

"If asked, I would be honored to serve alongside Joe Biden and do everything in my power to get this country back on track,'' the former Orlando police chief said in an interview on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe.”

Demings, who served as a House manager in the Senate impeachment trial of Donald Trump, criticized the president’s handling of the coronavirus pandemic.

"At the very least, we ought to be able to have a leader that we can trust,'' she said.
