However, I will argue today that, assuming she is the candidate (which I will discuss below, but I believe we can assume), that campaign is largely irrelevant to this one. For several key reasons.
First, she doesn’t have to build this campaign from scratch. The Biden campaign has thousands of employees. Some of them don’t want to work for Harris, but I think most do. Of course, she needs to bring in top talent, and that’s an important job. But she doesn’t have to hire a whole fundraising team. She doesn’t have to contract with vendors. All of that has already been done, and I hope we can assume that the people doing that work are experienced and reasonably capable.
Second, and actually more importantly, this is not a primary where you’re running against 17 like-minded people and you don’t have to work hard to stand out. That’s a marathon where it’s hard to get noticed. This is a sprint where attention will be drawn automatically and intensely. If she’s not famous now, she’ll be nationally famous in a few days, and assuming the polls are correct and Harris’s margin of victory over Donald Trump is as wide as Joe Biden’s (or even closer), she’s already got 75 million votes. She only needs to win the last 7 or 8 million votes.
