I think Harris is probably the only path forward with a hope you can make her more likeable. To keep her as VP, it's hard to see how anyone but a white male (and one not from California) makes sense. A black male or female at the top of the ticket could work too, but then they'd have to ditch Harris. It does suck to have to view things that way, but it's an awkward situation when they basically have to appoint a replacement.
I don't think there is a significant difference between running Harris as VP again vs dropping her from the ticket altogether. Running her at the top of the ticket likely wins a bunch of voters and loses a bunch of others...whether it's a net gain in the right places is a big question, but I doubt it's a win in the biggest battleground states.
