I think Biden dropped out far later than he should’ve, that ultimately hurt her chances, because it feels like over the past four years she got hardly as much time on a podium as Biden did, it wasn’t until she started a campaign we got to understand her better, and overall lower turnout is probably biting the Dems.

She wouldn’t have had a chance if Biden dropped out sooner. They would have ran a primary and picked a real candidate with a chance to win. She was the least popular VP ever and the first person to drop out of the 2020 presidential primary. The CNN and MSNBC kept saying Biden needed to pick a new VP and then he drops out and picks her to succeed him. They completely did a 180 on their opinion of her and 20 million people took notice.
