How did it happen? Who pulled the strings? The Dems are supposed to be crap at unity. The NYT has an arselickey piece about Kamala brilliantly pulling it off by just phoning everyone. But there must be more to it than that
"Hi x, just to let you know Joe is quitting so I'll obvs be putting my hat in the ring. So that means I get the existing war chest, but just to be on the safe side I've added another 50mil and counting to the pot. It'd be great to present a united front rather than proving the Trump campaign with clips of us slagging each other off. So can I rely on your support? As I said I've already got all the existing funding so that's not something you'll have to worry about, and (oh wait so it's 70 now?), and an extra $70m of donor support. What do you say?"
Ngl if I can come up with a compelling case during my morning shit, I'm pretty sure a long time professional politician can do at least as well.
There is no more to it than that.

I agree. Behind the scenes somebody fixed an agreement for Kamala not to be challenged. She got her feet under the desk at lightning speed. How did it happen? Who pulled the strings?
