Biden is a strong candidate on paper for the older Democratic coalition - he appeals to older, working class whites and to African American voters. So demographically, Biden is a good choice if the goal is to hold on to our existing support; the problem is we need to increase our vote, not just hold on, to win.

In terms of just playing the trends, Kamala Harris is the obvious candidate. She can hold on to and may even drive turnout on African-American voters (Like Joe but unlike Liz), can appeal to women and young (like Liz but unlike Joe), and seems to do well among the well-educated (like Liz but less like Joe). But generally I think it backfires to overthink this, better to focus on who gets your motor revving as the race moves on.
ehh, let it sort out. 4 years ago R’s were trying to figure which R candidate could best beat Clinton. They got a candidate no one thought had a chance.
