Following Biden's endorsement, the president's reelection campaign committee rebranded itself to "Harris for President," handing her the keys to a $91 million war chest.
Beyond seeking to upstage the first female vice president, other ambitious Democrats would have to raise their national profile in a way Harris does not.
AdvertisementThe prospect of Harris' nomination is far from a political panacea for nervous Democrats.
As leader of his party, Biden pushed the DNC to rubber stamp his plan to shake up the primary calendar.
If the virtual vote moves forward, ambitious Democrats will face an even tighter window to organize opposition to Harris' nomination.
