She's electric! In politics I've never seen such a sudden instantaneous jolt of energy and enthusiasm happen basically overnight! iirc even Obama didn't get quite as many people excited as quickly as Harris is doing! iirc even several weeks after Obama got the nomination there were still a good amount of nay sayers and fence sitters
Don't get me wrong. I'm extremely happy for the change, but I think the excitement you're seeing is more indicative of how much anxiety everyone was feeling about the future of this country if Biden stubbornly stayed in, and the sudden wave of relief they're feeling now. If Biden hadn't decided to run again at let the primary process do it's job to select a candidate, we might now have someone even better positioned to defeat Trump.
While true, never underestimate American's need for an "underdog" hero who comes in at the last minute to save the world, sort of thing.
We, unfortunately, love that shit. So this is playing well across the board.
