Demings was the impeachment manager during Trump’s first impeachment trial.
“Get his ass.”
Those, dear readers, are the first words to have left my mouth when learning that Democratic Rep. Val Demings (D-Fla.) announced that she would be running for Florida Senator Marco Rubio’s seat in the 2022 midterms.
“I know how to get through tough times, and I think we would all agree that we’re in some really tough, unusual times right now,” Demings said in an interview with the Orlando Sentinel. “But I’m not afraid of a tough fight.”
If you didn’t know, Demings has had a long history of public service. She served in law enforcement for 27 years, becoming the first woman to become chief of the Orlando Police Department. She was chosen by Nancy Pelosi to be the impeachment manager during the former president’s first impeachment trial, and was on President Biden’s shortlist for vice president before he wound up choosing Kamala Harris.
