They knew that they would have to coalesce behind someone quickly, as a fractious process would damage the survivor and waste precious time. So when Biden immediately endorsed Harris, those who might have had their own designs on the big chair took a page from the GOP and fell in line.
Harris still had to perform, and do so quickly, to take advantage of the temporarily favorable environment. So this doesn’t diminish her stellar performance in any way. Had she not done well immediately, the opportunity could easily have been lost.
It's remarkable, it was done smoothly and with no hiccups. I was concerned we'd head for chaos - when you estimate how many people would have to talk to each other to pull off something that smoothly it's impressive. I think 2000 to 3000 people were talking back and forth, state Dems, committees, donors, and Biden campaigners sounding each other out and moving to commit. And it was done smoothly, without any public disparagement of Biden - totally impressive, I have never seen anything like that, especially in Dems.
We can do this! We can put Harris in office!
