2. It's actually quite simple.

Turnout is, as it always is, the key.

Much of what was said (and asked) in the article is already obsolete. It's obvious that the donors, Democratic leaders, and others, including state delegations, are lining up to support Kamala. She's already the de facto nominee, in my opinion, if not officially.

The shift in tone on DU isn't some miracle. It's common sense. Once President Biden heartily endorsed his Vice President and others began to follow, it only makes sense that we would support her as well. We're going to support the nominee, and that nominee is no longer going to be the president.
