Kamala Harris's doomed presidential bid is good news for Joe Biden

Kamala Harris began her campaign with an impressive display of political might: a gigantic late-January rally in her hometown of Oakland, California, where 22,000 people turned up for her first major speech as a presidential candidate. “We are at an inflection point in the history of our nation,” the senator from California bellowed into the microphone. “We are here because the American dream and our American democracy are under attack and on the line like never before. And we are here at this moment in time because we must answer a fundamental question: Who are we?”

On 4 December, it all came crashing down. Staff infighting, financial pains, and a rudderless campaign forced the aspiring commander-in-chief to call it quits before the very first votes were cast. According to NBC News, Harris spent the weekend pouring over the campaign’s expenditures and concluded she didn’t have the money to keep going.
