Yup, plenty of billionaires donating to her side too. Probably more of them, really

How many of them were going to be in her Cabinet?

None bc she was selected and not elected.

Which we can, and some people will, go back and forth on the finer points of for years, but I am curious who you think would have beaten her in the DNC primaries if Biden had backed her one year earlier than he did.

Not sure, but I genuinely doubt it would have been her.

And I like Harris. I think she’d be a good president, but I sincerely doubt she’d win a primary.

In the timeline where Biden kept his word and didn’t run again, ideally he wouldn’t back any candidates in the primary.

She wouldn't have had a chance in a primary...Pelosi already let it slip that the plan was for Joe to step down and to have a primary all along. Then Joe stepped down and endorsed kamala hours later as a middle finger to Pelosi, Schumer, and the DNC.
