It would be a chance to control the media with their narrative, for once, and potentially come out with a stronger candidate, or a strengthened Harris.
I don't see how a quick ballot helps anyone but the established donors.

In principle, yes. But delaying the nomination by a month then potentially ramping up behind a new candidate is a lot of campaign time wasted.
Also, isn't she the only candidate that can access the considerable Biden/Harris campaign funds already donated? In which case there's a risk of a lot of funding being wasted.
Granted, those are tactical considerations, but the election process is a big ship to turn. The fact that most of the obvious contenders have taken a pass for the good of the party or to keep their powder dry pretty much cements it.
