Yep. It's actually rather amazing. Harris didn't just hit the high end of expectations - she utterly exceeded expectations in managing the transition from Biden to her candidacy. Not a single wrong foot, not a single mistake. She managed to thread the needle perfectly and massage all the behind-the-scenes gladhandling and coalition building in a way that minimized any ruptures in what is normally a very fractious coalition. Seriously - she came out of that process with nearly every single faction in the party on-board, all of the other competitors for the nod (esp. Newsome) keeping their powder dry. She even managed to finesse the Gaza conflict with probably the absolute minimum amount of drama and impact to her campaign.

Yes. I dud appreciate your three pathway assessment, and it seems like we've had some luck go our way too.
