Here's what you need to take away from the article: 1.) VP Harris is sticking to the proper party line: getting more Democrats elected above anything else. Perhaps that's a consequence of her profile, but she has the luxury of being selective and highly targeted in where she can help. 2.) The disconnect between the party intelligentsia and the average Democrat will eventually come to a head. For every scum consultant with a vested interest in forcing her out, there's a connection to the party's electorate that they cannot simply wish away. Democrats... want to see her. Certain circles don't like admitting it, but she remains broadly popular among Democrats. 3.) She's very aware of the games taking place around her. And she went out of her way to address them, and made it clear that those preoccupied with themselves will suffer the consequences. 4.) The argument we've been making in these parts for nearly a year is beginning to surface elsewhere: that some of the opposition to another Harris candidacy may have less to do with her losing in 2024 and more to do with the prospect of having to compete against her in 2028. 5.) Whether you want to admit it or not, much of the emerging 2028 field is operating in the shadow of what she may or may not decide to do.
