For Biden VP, Black Democrats are torn between Harris and Warren

[Fiendish Thingy]

83. Numerous polls taken in the past 6-8 weeks consistently have Warren as voters 1st choice for VP

The most recent Monmouth poll of a panel of Dem primary voters shows Harris in first place, Warren in second, and 59% support for a Woman of colour on the ticket.

And there’s a few other older polls that all had Warren as first choice for VP among Dem voters.

So, while there is some evidence that voters would support Biden choosing a woman of colour for VP, when asked to choose a candidate, with just 1-2 exceptions, voters consistently pick Warren over the others.
