Analysis: Joe Biden plans to pick a female running mate. Would it make a difference if she's black? - SteveKornacki
that"we need a ticket that reflects the diversity of America," and she'd be concerned if Biden doesn't select a woman of color"because women of color — particularly black women — are the strongest part of the Democratic Party, the most loyal."
So, the argument goes, Biden will need an African American running mate to bump up turnout and avoid the fates of Kerry and Clinton. Whether this would actually happen with a black VP candidate is far from clear, though. It also seems notable that Biden faced competition for the Democratic nomination from two black candidates, Harris and Sen. Cory Booker of New Jersey, and neither of them built traction with black voters. In one of thebefore Harris' December withdrawal, she attracted support from 5 percent of black voters. Booker, who would soon exit the race, too, was at 3 percent. Biden was at 43 percent.
