The Val Demings Gamble

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

57% : Though the Inflation Reduction Act is by nature full of compromises, as my colleague Robinson Meyer notes, it "will touch every sector of the economy, subsidizing massive new investments in renewable and geothermal energy, as well as nuclear power and carbon capture and removal, and encouraging new clean-energy manufacturing industries to develop in the United States."
55% : In early August, Democrats in Congress passed a mammoth bill on climate change, health care, and taxes.
48% : The first is the story of Val Demings herself: a centrist Black woman with a background in law enforcement -- just the profile the party has placed its bets on in recent years.
36% : But because she's running in a state that is turning redder and redder, Demings has to strike the right balance of being the police enforcer she's always been while appearing open to reform, and being unrelentingly liberal on issues such as access to abortion while emphasizing her Christian faith so as not to isolate Catholic voters.
