    You and me both. The way the whole party has coalesced around Harris is a happy surprise. There has been so much infighting for so long and Kamala wasn’t really mentioned in all the push to remove Biden, and there was no consensus around anyone. I was sure it would be nothing but infighting until the convention and then begrudging acceptance.

    I couldn’t be happier to be wrong.

      My tin foil hat thought is that Biden waited so long to drop out partially to allow the party to rally behind a single candidate.

        I don’t think that’s remotely a tinfoil hat statement. If you look at Biden’s record in general, he’s the kind of guy who tends to say nothing while he quietly does the work to put an actual plan in place, and only acts when he knows he’s in a position to act effectively.

        It would be completely consistent with his past behaviour, and entirely the smart thing to do.
