We also don’t know that Trump or Biden are the most qualified candidates for President, either, (Trump certainly wasn’t the most qualified when he ran and won) nor do we know if Pence was the most qualified choice for Trump’s VP. It’s not an unfortunate conclusion, it’s literally the way politics has been for decades.
Harris is as qualified as any other VP or Presidential candidate. Not sure what you find unfortunate about that.

You're correct: he was only explicit about the woman part. The race part was only implied/suggested - and strongly pressured by various media outlets. Many pundits thought he would be forced into picking a black woman after his "you ain't black" comments.
