Harris doesn't strike me as being that amicable with Biden, however, she shared a friendship with Joe's deceased son Beau, so there's that. Perhaps Biden saw Harris' critique of him as purely political and not with real belief, and believes she might help implement his policies and provide a voice for them.
While I personally don't want to see a President Harris due to any issues arising from Biden's health or else, perhaps Biden felt she was the best aligned with his policies. I suppose we will see.
I don't see "amicability" as an issue at this level. Bush I accused Reagan of pushing "voodo economics," then bonded with the guy for 8 years. The people who wanted Reagan saw many advantages in the choice.
You mentioned Abrams--I like her, but one reason I prefer Harris so far is that she has at least some experience of national politics and foreign policy.
I don't think either were yet prepared for a national presidential campaign, but I think Harris may nevertheless learn from campaign missteps. Dem voters won't hold any of that against her if she seems to be "working" for/with Biden.
This still seems to me a much more sensible choice than Hillary's selection of Kaine, who failed to deliver the white male vote lol.
