one thing not considered is that aoc’s video and its reception might itself have helped to sway things in this direction.
her perspective in her meeting, and her publicizing that opinion - loudly - might have woken up some of those wanting a more open race… because, really, aoc was right. and, unlike the gop, the dems can feel still feel some shame
plus, honestly, the people themselves. harris raised 100 million from small donors in just a few days?
no one predicted that level of grassroots support ( and definitely no polls ) - nobody could step in front of that train and not get absolutely crushed.
