Identity politics has nothing to do with the case for Kamala Harris to replace Biden. Would it be an ugly thing to shove aside a Black female VP to make room for an untested white or male candidate? Yes. Would it turn off some Black voters? Perhaps. But historically, Black voters are practical.

I am not even sure Harris at the top of the ticket helps shore up the sagging Black vote for the Democratic ticket. The main reason to choose her is that of all available options she is the most likely to succeed in easing out Biden. No other scenario is really possible or practicable.
