"Kamala Harris will likely be the next president of the United States – and
that’s overall good news if you care about democracy, justice and equality. Joe
Biden’s decision on Sunday to bow out of the presidential race clears the path
for the country to elect its first woman and first woman of color as president.
Even though the electoral fundamentals for this year’s election have always
favored the Democrats – despite what numerous misleading polls have been
showing (and with most of the news media reacting purely off those polls) –
Harris’s selection will largely shore up the weaknesses that were dragging down
Biden’s poll numbers.
All of the drama and dissatisfaction over Biden’s June debate performance
completely obscured the underlying factors that made it more likely than not
that the Democrats, even with Biden as nominee, were in a strong position to
win in November. Here are the facts."
