Biden doesn't need to.

What doomed both Harris and Booker is that they imagined they'd have a built in African-American base, but Biden just took all that air out of the room.

If someone like Warren or Buttigieg wins the nomination, they'll have to reach out more to African-American voters and thus may select Booker as VP (though that failing is probably going to prevent them from getting the nom).

Biden, OTOH, doesn't really have to worry about that.
