I'm not sure a white woman who would vote FOR -45 would be interested in any of our candidates. The truth is that most white women are republicans and as long as they continue to benefit most from the patriarchy, they will continue to be so. Keep in mind that 76% of white women voted for Kemp in 2018, the republican candidate for governor in Georgia, against Stacey Abrams. In 2017 63% of white women voted against Democratic candidate Doug Jones (Alabama) and FOR the disgraced Roy Moore.
I know that this is a bit unrelated, but consider this: both republicans on ABC's The View are white women whom we only know exist because of who their fathers are. For a lot of white women, conservatism works. They don't feel oppressed. There is nothing we can offer them.
I think the real treasure trove of voters is among those who buy the crap (sometimes sold among those in a democrat's clothing) that both parties are the same. I believe it's most beneficial for us to invest in bringing in New voters and folks who stayed home rather than vote.
From what I can see, dump still enjoys about a 54% approval rate among white women. I've posted a few articles and links.

Why would we want a candidate who appeals to a trumplethinskin voter? What would we be appealing to, exactly?
Congratulations to our presumptive Democratic nominee, Joe Biden!
