the serious answer is probably:

1-because they had amassed hundreds of millions in campaign donations

and

2- they were concerned they would alienate PoC if they passed her over

I'm a lib and I think this is 100% what happened. Obama isn't retarded and wanted someone with the best chance of winning, who definitely wasn't Harris. If you remember he didn't snap endorse her, it took him a few days (maybe even up to a week) to publicly come around once it was inevitable

This goes 100x for Pelosi, too, as she campaigned against her internally in 2020 and was pushing for any other black woman alternative starting in the spring before George Floyd.

Only two reasons.

1. She had all the money and wouldn’t give it up.

2. Biden endorsed her 20 minutes after dropping out to fuck over Obama and Pelosi who would have preferred a mini primary.

I thought this was egregious, but now realize it would have been chaos to have a mini primary around the time of the convention. By sticking with Kamala and hiding her in the basement they at least had a shot.

No way a mini-primary would be worse. Any other candidate could distance themselves from the admin, say they would curtail illegal immigration, etc., plus they would not be as awful in interviews.

Anyone would have received the same polling and fundraising surge Kamala got in August, but they would have had a better shot at holding it.

Yeah wasn't there some discussion that she was the only one legally entitled to inherit the Biden election money? I have no idea if that would held up in court but certainly people believed it at the time and they probably didn't want the fight

it's literally because she's a black woman. the dogma required it. the backlash would've been outrageous.

also tbf, why would any party skip over their vp? they picked her because she was always ready to tap in to the oval office at any time. right? right?!

there is no way they could hold a 50 state primary in time for that.

Kamala was the only logical/reasonable choice as she was on the ballot with Biden and could reasonably argue that primary voters voted for her too. And the entire role of the VP is to step in for POTUS anyways.

not to mention it would have pissed off the Dem base of angry black women.

this was really the only practical solution.

lol it wouldn’t have been a real primary. it would have been a sham one (like 2016 and 2020) and then they would’ve just nominated whoever the party heads actually wanted.

Even if the Dems held a mini primary and landed on the most demographically and geographically optimized ticket like Kelly Shapiro or whatever Trump was always going to crush them. The country wants Trump and he now has a way stronger mandate than ever before. Even if the Dems take the House the Trump WH will lean on the few squishy Dems they need to pass all the legislation they want to pass. In the current environment this is a bigger ass kicking than Reagan over Carter in 1980.
