The Harris choice didn't actually please the activist base of the party because she was a state DA, and always has governed to the right of where she campaigns, which makes her come across as inauthentic to a lot of voters.

Biden chose her because Biden knows her and her husband well I think and has promised to select a black woman as VP. All other good candidates were more interested in climbing the tanks of state power or running for Senate than being VP. Harris was the default.

Biden is only president because he was VP under Obama and this made him well known and electable. He ran a very good primary and general election in 2020.

The Democrats also are risk adverse and insecure since 2016. This is why they are imploding and in-fighting right now. Whatever they do, hopefully it works out well for the country.
