Note that Biden's initial decision was to have a woman V.P., thus adding a step upward toward women breaking the U.S. 'Political Glass Ceiling'...and to the best of my knowledge, that woman did not need to be a Trump sponsored Beauty Pageant winner.

AI Overview

Joe Biden committed to picking a woman as his vice-presidential running mate during the March 15, 2020 Democratic primary debate, but he did not initially restrict that pledge specifically to a Black woman. Instead, he vowed to select a woman and to ensure his administration and cabinet reflected the diversity of the country.
• The Original Vow: Biden stated during the March 2020 debate that he would pick a woman as his vice president and pledged to appoint a Black woman to the Supreme Court.
• The Shortlist: By July 2020, Biden confirmed that multiple Black women were on his official shortlist for vice president, though he declined to guarantee that the final pick would be a Black woman.
• Pressure from the Party: Calls for him to choose a Black woman intensified from Black voters, lawmakers, and activists (such as House Whip Jim Clyburn and various civil rights groups) who argued that Black women formed the most loyal base of the Democratic Party and were vital to winning the general election.
• The Selection: Biden ultimately selected Kamala Harris, a Black and South Asian American woman, as his running mate in August 2020.

Hopefully, enough Americans in the future will not be so misogynistic as to avoid voting for a woman as President. The odds of the GOP offering such a candidate are extremely low.
