    Not only that, Republicans often begin undermining their opponent’s reputation from day one, spending nearly four years focused on convincing the public that Biden is ineffective. Now, all that effort is erased at the most crucial time of the election. They no longer have years to shape public perception. This sets the stage for a fairer fight, and Harris is a more compelling speaker than Biden. I believe It was a good play.

        Another thought is that Joe has to campaign while still being president, whereas Harris can focus almost all her energy on campaigning. I believe this alone will make a big difference.
