    I still have no idea how Harris pulled it off, but it’s awesome to behold.

    “Neither” was the top-polling candidate for 2024 when it was between Trump or Biden.. Of Dems and left-leaning voters, Biden’s age factored heavily into that sentiment. Call it superficial but that was his “thing” since he took office. Harris solves both of those hang-ups.

    Other than that, Harris’s name has been plastered on every accomplishment of the current administration in a way that I’ve not really seen before. It was always the Biden-Harris Administration on the headlines, she had plenty of name recognition already

      Oh I agree it had to be Harris. But she wasn’t polling well and no one talking about replacing Biden talked about her. I just underestimated everyone.
