I don't know about that.

I think the challenge of not having a standard nomination process is that most of the candidates had issues much similar to Harris so it was hard to say that one was obviously better.

As an example: Shapiro had his support for Israel which would alienate a lot of the left. Whitmer is also a woman just like Harris, which is problematic for lots of older voters. Newsom would not go down well in swing states - both for his personality and being from California.

I suspect in a regular nomination process we'd realize who was the best, but this wasn't that case.

I do agree she hasn't run a good campaign though. She hasn't been visible so people still don't know who she is or what her policies are.
