But the past month has been nothing short of an historically amazing exercise in internal politics.

I suspect there’s one other factor helping Harris in this exceptional performance. That would be Democrats’ perception of the stakes in this election.

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.
