The purpose of the DNC is to feed meat to the base, while reaching out to undecided voters. Positive news coverage is a nice bonus insofar that it helps reach undecided voters.

The betting odds have Kamala as a slight favorite. I'm not convinced that it's a statistical tie right now.

Her level of support now is very similar to the level of support Biden had in the 2020 election. So she's not pushing past that, at least not yet. This should be a surprise to no one. Trump has a very loyal core of supporters, and the Trump campaign is pouring unholy amounts of money into blasting the swing states with lies and propaganda. Kamala winning this race won't be easy, but for you to frame it like she's in some kind of dire state and desperately needs the DNC to save her is... not accurate.
