Honestly... It's crazy that the Dems didn't fukk this up. I mean the situation forced their hand to Harris and if Biden dropped out a month earlier. We probably end up in a sad dysfunctional shytshow of a rushed primary.This is something I brought up before. The Biden Campaign was always stronger than Trump because they made those media buys months ago. The money is going to GOTV. The enthusiasm was down and the big money donors along with Pelosi poisoned the well, but the campaign was strong. Him giving that campaign to Kamala who basically fell out of the race in 2020 due to bad campaigning is what is allowing her to build this momentum. People are engaged AND the campaign is able to take advantage of that.
I still don’t like the precedent this whole thing sends of a president being kicked out by Donors but at least the party did not descend into chaos. A open primary lowkey would have given the Republicans all the ammo they would have needed to convince voters the Democrats are a shyt show.
Harris getting record breaking doners changed the game completely and flipped the board.
