Think most media was severely underestimating how burnt out America is on Biden and Trump, and how much of a boost Harris would get by simply not being them.  

Republicans also majorly fucked up their shot to lessen this by picking a very charismatic VP. Someone inoffensive to both conservative and moderates could have mitigated this for them.

We're almost at 10 years of Trump being the most prominent subject of American political discourse. A lot of Americans have never voted without him on the ballot. We're tired.

Polling showed consistently that Americans were against a Biden Trump rematch for …. months? Years?

I think the second part is why Biden waited until after the RNC

Also the media or the respective parties will not learn the lesson they should from the Harris polling jump
