If Biden is doing such a good job, and things are going good.. why is Harris talking about changing everything on Day 1? I don't get it... they're in power now, and yet, everything is STILL Trump's fault...

There's a bunch that still needs to be done, but can't because the Republicans control the agenda in the House and demand a 60 vote super majority in the Senate.

She's probably expecting a flip in the House and removing the filibuster in the Senate.

They give a Republican a platform to speak by not the actual Uncommitted delegates who have a right to be there.
