I very loosely prefer, for electability reasons, to have one white, one AA, and either two males, or one male, one female. I don't especially care which is the Prez candidate, but Harris would be probably be my fifth choice, just because we lost last time with a female candidate. At least as things stand presently, I have to think that a Liberal Californian Female US Senator (don't get me wrong, that's my home state, and I love her) would have a very hard time.
I don't think that's RIGHT, by any stretch, it's not that I wouldn't LOVE a female POTUS ... cause I would, but I think Harris is best as VP at this time. Problem there would be she's the longest-standing US Senator (I think), and hence would be 'Senior' to all these other men in a sense. So that complicates things ...
But I'd take any of those four dudes (except Newsome, can't have 2 Californians) as POTUS & Kamala as VP all day long, or any of the two dudes.
BTW, would LOVE LOVE LOVE to see both Biden and Al Gore as Cabinet Members ... both of them would be phenomenal in a variety of Cabinet Positions.
