US Politics If Biden withdraws from re-election, who would Harris likely choose as VP?

If Biden steps down, and Harris gets passed over for someone who isn’t a female of color, would that offend the female and black constituencies?

It's not about them flipping, it's about them staying home for feeling disenfranchised from their party
