WASHINGTON - Joe Biden is under pressure to pick a Black woman as his vice presidential running mate. But polls suggest the most popular prospect among Black Democrats is white.
Sen. Kamala Harris, D-Calif., and Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., are widely seen by Democratic officials and activists close to the process as front-runners, though other candidates remain in the mix and a Biden aide told NBC News that "the process is dynamic and ongoing and no final decision has been made."
**SNIP**
“I don’t support an all-white ticket,” said Aimee Allison, the president of She the People, a progressive group that works to promote women of color in politics. “That was a tremendous mistake in 2016. We have a party that’s half people of color and a quarter Black. The ticket needs to reflect that.”
Allison said Harris would be one of several “excellent candidates” for vice president, citing the former California attorney general’s outspoken push for racial justice in recent weeks as the Senate debates police reform.
'A Black face in a high place' not enough?
Jorden Giger, a 29-year-old teacher and Black Lives Matter activist in South Bend, Indiana, disagreed. While he understands the need for a diverse ticket, he wants Biden to pick Warren.
“Descriptive representation is not enough. It's not enough just to have a Black face in a high place,” Giger said by phone. “We need someone to actually champion our positions in a real way and she's the best there is.”

Hi.
I hope Slow Joe Quid Pro Quo chooses Harris.
Why? Because Willie and his willy probably did an X rated video for future “viewing,” and “business,” with the Jamaican.
I can’t wait to see Kamala go “down.”
5.56mm
Won’t matter. He’s a loser.
Kiss my @$$ Aimee!
That reminds me - I recently found out from 23andMe that I have more West African blood than Fauxcahontas has native american blood (4 times as much actually). I’m going to apply for a faculty position at Harvard.
Harris was born to two foreigners. Ineligible.
Chief Warren is commie enough to count as a BLM black.
Neither pick would do him any good. Harris sounds like a stoner. Warren is a shrew.
so he is torn between a whore and a lying idiot time for the demented pervert to toss a coin....while I toss my dinner!!
Snopes would say that. The Founders would not.
Bingo
I admit I don’t know what I dont know. Can you give a brief explanation of what makes a person eligible. I know 10th grade civics — natural born citizen, but am a little confused. IF Harris was born in Oakland, doesn’t that make her natural born?
Susan Rice.
I REPEAT:
HARRIS IS NOT ELIGIBLE TO BE PRESIDENT OR TO HOLD ANY POSITION THAT CAN SUCCEED PRESIDENT.
SHE IS AN ANCHOR BABY ONLY. NATIVE BORN-—NOT NBC.
SHE IS NOT NATURAL BORN CITIZEN. NEITHER PARENT WAS USA CITIZEN WHEN SHE WAS BORN.
OBAMA SNOOKERED US.
DO NOT LET IT HAPPEN AGAIN.
ABSOLUTELY NOT!!!
SNOPES IS WRONG TO SAY SO...
NEITHER OF HER PARENTS : DADDY IS FROM JAMAICA & MOTHER IS FROM INDIA-—WERE USA CITIZENS WHEN KAMALA WAS BORN HERE.
SHE IS AN ANCHOR BABY-—NOTHING ELSE.
...and another woman of color....
NBC is just setting him up to pick someone white. Blacks want a white person.. yeah, right.
NBC works for white liberal elites...NOT for black pity party drama queens. Maybe no one told them democrats WERE the KKK.
