@Thinkerbell I think donors certainly got behind her . But the media did a real hatchet job on her from day one. There was an expectation then that she would be the next nominee..😷
"But the media did a real hatchet job on her from day one."
The media's "hatchet job" on Harris was to merely portray her in a more realistic light than they had done with Biden. They were greatly embarrassed by CNN's Jake Tapper's revelations of their years of systematically covering up for old Joe and his mental decline.
That still didn't stop CBS from selectively editing their 60 Minutes program, aired on October 7, 2024, to make Harris's word salads look as good as CBS could possibly make them, in the interests of "succinctness."
I actually think it'll get worse when the Republicans replace Trump. Trump's cartoonish buffoonery makes it harder for them to get stuff done. If JD Vance or Ron DeSantis is president, the Republicans will be able to move much quicker.
