I don't see why Biden would take any woman other than Duckworth. She is a disabled vet, retired as a lieutenant colonel. Even got a waiver to keep serving in Illinois National Guard after losing both legs.
What is Corporal Bone Spurs going to say about her without it backfiring on him?
She is part Asian (for the identity politics crowd) and her politics are not crazy leftist. If Biden picks her, the race is over before it starts.

The Blacks are now so invested in having a Black female on the ticket, Duckworth would be a huge slap in the face. Some Blacks already hate the comparison between how well Asians do compared to Blacks and it will be easy for the Trump campaign to whip up discontent pointing out that fact that Biden couldn't trust a Black candidate over an Asian candidate.
You live by identity politics, you die by identity politics. If Biden does manage to win, the Democrat party will eat it's own until they can't function at all and that isn't far to go from where they are now.
This is going to be fun to watch.
