General Discussion

By mentioning having a primary, I assume so. It would have been interesting to see how a primary would have turned out. The public as a whole was frustrated with the Biden administration's approach to inflation, while remaining popular with the majority of the Democratic base. Would there have been a candidate that broke through that would have beaten Trump? My guess is no given the reordering of the primaries would seemingly favored Harris with South Carolina first and her being VP, but it might have put her in a position to focus faster on how she would have differed from Biden. I think that her initial comment that she wouldn't have done anything different hurt her a lot in terms of being tied to Biden in the eyes of the public.
