Ohh it wouldn’t convince any of the far right, but it would take time to embed the new rote complaints after spending so much air time repeating the same age issue, and which how unsubtle they’ve become I’m curious as to if they’ll get braden enough to alienate the ‘social progressive, fiscal conservative’ crowd.
If that’s the the primary concern with Biden the mainstream is willing to actually talk about, because every actual criticism tends to boil down to being a standard Democratic centrist unwilling to take much of a stand on anything but throwing money at climate and student debt, then Harris solves that by providing a generic Dem that fulfills the one thing they’ve been told is a problem with Biden for the last few years.
Harris is at least positioned as slighly more radical than Biden, so it could lead to better support the younger left if she manages to stay clear of Gaza and other problems of inaction. I also doubt very many people are going to change their vote for Biden based on round 2 of debates.
More practically, given that no party is going to drop a incumbent nomination without a lot more pressure then Biden’s under, it is at least slightly less fantastical if it’s just switching the order. It’s not going to happen, but it might be interesting if it did.
Practically, the only way I think we might see a change from the DMC strategy of moving righword to try and gain moderates is if Trump actually splits the Republicans, unlikely because none of them have enough of a spine, and thusly gave one of the actual left candidates enough comfort with the margin on a four way race they don’t bow out without major concessions.
