Some California House Democrats don’t want the process to replace the president on the ticket to seem like a Kamala Harris coronation.

    You are really going to need to tl;dr that. I’m not one to not read, but that’s just excessive.

      Seven paragraphs is too much? I read the full thing before seeing your comment. It’s well written and easy to read.

      I mean, it’s not a really simple result.

      I guess in a nutshell:

      • There is limited Trump-vs-Harris state polling data available. Some has to be predicted based on other polls, and there won’t be many sources to work with.

      • Harris polls slightly better nationwide than Biden, but it’s not by much.

      • However, the model they use, which makes use of information above-and-beyond just poll results, also predicts Biden to have a better chance of winning the Electoral College.

      • However, this model is built based on assumptions that may not hold for this particular unusual situation, and the authors are not sure how well those assumptions will hold up.
