California Democratic delegate Areva Martin told media personality Stephen A. Smith that passing over Vice President Kamala Harris as President Biden's replacement should he withdraw from the race would destroy the party.
"If you pick a White man over Kamala Harris, Black women, I can tell you this, we are going to walk away," Martin said Tuesday. "We are going to blow the party up."
As speculation over Biden's status as leader of the party grows, Democrats are openly divided over who is qualified to run against former President Trump in the months before the election.
"Who are we agreeing [to]?" Martin asked Smith. "There's a long list of Democrats, Kamala Harris, Gavin Newsom, Gretchen Whitmer, the list goes on and on."
"Where is their consensus?" she continued. "You've got to build consensus. And there is not consensus right now."
"So where are we getting agreement from on whom this ideal Democratic candidate should be?" Martin said. "Tell me that."
Martin, a civil rights attorney, said that the Biden administration deserved credit for its diversity.
"Joe Biden, when he gets re-elected, which my prediction is that he will, he brings with him Kamala Harris, the most diverse administration in the history of this country," she said. "Y'all need to just stay the course. We got more Black judges appointed under Joe Biden than anyone, even President Barack Obama."
Martin also compared the presidential race to a sports match, saying that Biden is the "star player" and deserves support.
"I don't know anything about sports, but I know you don't give up on your star player in the middle of a game," she told Smith.

The title and article beg for so many glib answers since Harris is involved... blow, who’s on top, etc.
Popcorn!
Painted into every corner, huh?
Black women. The most one-sided voting group in the US, and #2 is not even close.
The Democrat Party will never have a white leader or President again.
There isn’t a more fitting way for the Democratic Party to destroy itself than by what is perhaps the single most radical voting demographic in the country.
This is fun. You go girls!
Blackmail? Threat of terrorism?
Agree, it’s going to be a riot. In both senses of the word.
Who could have seen it coming? (Sarcasm alert.)
So there you go: racial discrimination is okay in 2024 (as long as you’re targeting the right people.)
Nutty people want the USA to be run by one of their kind.
Because 6% of the population should be in charge of the country.
Silly statement.
Kamala Harris will run. She'll lose just like Hillary.
Gavin Newsom will be the savior. And he'll win in 2028.
“I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.”

Martin needs to be patient.
The DNC is surely doing lots of background checking, polling and focus group work.
Suddenly it occurs to me that the pick of Kamala may have been the poison pill that destroys the Democrat Party. Somewhere, up in the clouds, Rush is smiling.
If you look at TV news whether local , state or national - which I don’t as I live in Japan but see many clips via podcasts - if you didn’t know better , you’d think blacks were 40% of the population .
