She had very little time to campaign. She did well considering, and if she had more time, I suspect she wins. When they do a post-mortem, I suspect the take away ends-up being covering-up Biden's health issues sunk the election for the Dems.
Nope.
She was deeply unpopular as VP. She ran a terrible campaign, dodging media and the press, with no real message other than "Trump is bad." She didn't distance herself from Biden (and her own) bad policies. She never explained her massive changes in position and in fact lied about that in many cases. She was a bad retail politician. And then she was anointed by the dem oligarchs - the same people who hid Biden's condition - without any type of primary.
She, like Biden before her, thought hiding and "not being Trump" would be enough. It was not.
Had the dems run a better candidate - Manchin, Newsome, Shapiro, or others - they likely would have won. I would have voted for Manchin and likely Shapiro. Instead they ran the deeply unpopular, not bright, and farthest left candidate they could find.
