I’d say anyone running on FDR’s 4 freedoms can build a big enough tent. Coalitions are difficult. You have to appeal to each one.

Both my Senators are white women and my rep is a Black woman and the reps in adjoining districts are white women. But they do all fit the office. Just don’t like unconditional surrender to bigotry.

Reminds me of ancient convoluted flowchart with the last box “a miracle occurs”.

And the Supreme Court.
