I think she came with too much baggage as the nominee unfortunately, some of the reason I think they pushed for her was because she would get access to Biden’s campaign funds. But then she ended up not even needing those, so likely any other Dem could have raised a similar amount given how much everything mattered.
I believe she was nominated as VP because she had a similar corporate Dem appeal to Biden back in 2020. Although she definitely more left leaning than Biden. Most of the other candidates back then felt much more left leaning than Biden was.
Kamala had to be carried as VP, she had absolutely no business being the nomination.
Shit, the only reason she was made VP was because of the identity politics of having yet another ancient white guy in office.
Sorry I double responded, I meant to reply to another commenter and left it here by accident.

No worries!
