8. Many people were dejected about a rematch.

The typical person out there, especially amongst the young and apolitical types, did not like this race and wanted something different - and now they've got it. Harris always had alot of upside that is now being unlocked. Dems can't win without enthusiasm from PoC, women and youth - and now we see that energy rushing in. Many respect Biden but just felt like they wanted change - someone younger, different. So those voters feel like Dems did something that political parties never do - listen and take action. That alone will get votes.
