I don't think they ever thought Harris could win. The DNC's internal polling reports showed her trailing by double-digits throughout the campaign.

I think they nominated her to prevent a wipe-out and to preserve their fundraising effectiveness. Running an extremely right-wing campaign was also aimed at keeping donors happy.

Yeah, that would make sense too.

Either way, that was a clusterfuck of a campaign.
