tbf they had half an incumbent boost, they should have run Biden and then had him step down, or had him step down earlier so she could run a full campaign.
AFAIK there is no proof of this, but it seems obvious to me they deliberately left Biden in to avoid holding a primary election. The man had obvious cognitive issues back in 2020. They knew he was out to lunch the whole time. When you have a competitive primary, candidates actually have to start working with constituencies and organizations, granting concession (or simply making promises) in return for support.
What we saw in this "election" cycle is what happens when a candidate makes it on to the general election ballot with no prior commitments to their constituents whatsoever. Every aspect of the incoming administration was for sale. The entire campaign was targeted at gathering "donations."
