At the risk of seeming pro-Harris (I'm not), they definitely are/were.
They should have spent 4 years preparing to make her president. Or failing that just a better Vice-President. Yes she is weird and also likely benzo addicted. But you can smooth that out, you Pygmalion/King's Speech her. Get in the best stylists, vocal coaches, speech writer etc. Give her lots of PR softball wins to make her seem good.
Biden's brain is rotting day by day, he is getting worse. There's a chance Harris could get better. For Dems winning of course, not any meaningful change politically.
Plus if she was running for President you could find a strong appearing white male Vice-President to back her up (like they did Obama with Biden)
Like going into the 2024 you could be like we're the party of the future, the Republicans are stuck in the past with their old loser. You could also distance her from anything Joe Biden does badly (like Palestine) and share credit with him for things like the inflation reduction act.
