Related: About this forumHeidi Heitkamp(D-ND) for 2020 POTUS or VPOTUS.
Heitkamp made a courageous decision voting NO on Kavanaugh. She is the only Democratic US Senator up for re-election in 2018 from a solid Trump State. Heitkamp is trailing in the polls by a decent margin before the NO vote.

OP
What about a VP running mate to either Warren-D or Harris-D? A double female Democratic Ticket?

No, not that either. VPs have the potential of becoming presidents.

It will energize the Democratic electorate and force Trump to double down on his gender bigotry.
Heitkamp could put the Dakotas in play, carry WI,MI,and PA-.

Heitkamp is OK as a senator from ND, and is probably as "liberal" as she can get away with there. But she shouldn't be on a Dem presidential ticket.

I know she's a long shot but I would love to see her donations surge tonight.
