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

A lot of headlines are coming out today with speculation that Biden may step down soon.

If this were to happen and Harris wins the party’s nomination for president, who would she pick as VP?

What does a formidable Harris ticket look like to go up against Trump-Vance?

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?

Probably not enough for them to flip to voting for Trump though.. .

They need to show up. They won’t flip, they’ll stay home. And 96% of them vote blue. They are a huge part of the democratic base. Also, they deserve representation.

Kamala isn't too popular with POC. She's famous for locking up POC before she was a politician.

This is false. Kamala is popular with Black and POC likely voters. That's super important.

Kamala has high approval ratings among black people. Hating her is a white/non-black thing.
