It fulfills his promise to nominate a "black woman", and gives him a good out to dump a wildly unpopular VP. I can see how the theory developed, but I definitely hope it's not true. Harris is the textbook definition of a person who fails upwards. She's never been a bench officer, which I think could be a sticking point for someone like Manchin, plus I have heard, and this is only rumor, that she was not well liked by her Senate colleagues.
He can toss that out there and when it flops he can say "Ok ok, how about Obama?"

According to this betting site, the big favorite is Ketanji Brown Jackson with Harris quite a bit behind.
