i think in this case, it's not so much that Harris will persuade voters, but more that Harris will energize at least some of the likely dem voters that were leaning towards just staying home on Election Day.
I think people are underestimating the enticement of having a woman president for the first time, because Clinton lost the EC. But that doesn’t mean that energy isn’t there, especially after losing Roe.
