The polling before this announcement was showing Harris with better numbers vs. Trump than Biden had, at least.



Polling whom? Democrats? As we have seen many times this century, getting the popular vote does not mean you win the presidency.


I believe Harris would still have access to the $240M Biden/Harris campaign fund too.


I honestly didn't have much faith in that polling. The media was scrambling after the debate to propose a different narrative and many in the party that were turning on Biden were promoting Harris.

The polling seemed too convenient. I don't have a link handy, but the best poll process I saw after the debate did show Harris doing better than Biden, but she was still worse off than a few of the other Democratic potentials.
