Did political correctness and backroom dealing doom the Democratic ticket from the start?

The Democratic Party has a number of very impressive politicians and potential candidates within its ranks. That said, most Republicans, some Democrats and arguably millions of Americans don’t believe Vice President Kamala Harris and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz are two of them.

It didn’t have to be this way. The Democratic National Committee as well as the Democratic powerbrokers behind the scenes could have engineered a much stronger and much more electable ticket. They simply chose not to.
