I'm fascinated that the Left keeps debating this for lessons learned, and keep avoiding the elephant in the room. It was the policies stupid.
Joe dropped out too late, we are told. Kamala didn't have enough time to run a campaign.

and they hid her from all interviews even from friendly outlets of which all msm are.
in 2020, Biden hid in the basement, and won. He used covid as the reason/excuse. And then they hid Kamala. Why? Because she wasn't ready.
It exposed that Kamala wasn't in charge, 'aides' were. She never admitted not being ready.
How could she not be ready, she had 6 years to get ready, plus the rest of her 60 years preparing to run for President. She ran for the job of President in 2019. She ran for VP in 2020. She served as VP in 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024 no constitutional responsibilities other than to be ready to step in for the oldest most senile President ever. And to break the Senate ties on their reckless spending sprees.
As VP, she wasn't his most trusted adviser; the people behind the curtain were.
Joe's candidacy was based on an implied promise he would govern as a moderate Democrat. His policy failure all the way through was to govern as a Radical Left President. Harris would have governed further Left, if that was possible.
People accepted Joe's senility and government by aides behind the curtain. People accepted that Kamala had a fine resume; she held all the right jobs to rise to the nomination (even though she never won a Democrat delegate in a primary).
What they didn't accept in the end were the policies of
her administration that led to the results.
She didn't once try to separate herself from the agenda, and if she had done that honestly, it would have been in the direction of more radical, not less.

Her toxic personality didn't help either. Getting to know her was not getting to like her:
