It wasn’t just the money, her staff came from Biden as well. So she would have had to re-build the entire campaign from scratch with 30 days to the convention and 100 days to the election.

It wasn’t possible, and everyone (well, everyone outside lemmy) knew that.

She took a gamble, a stupid one. Stick with Biden, keep his infrastructure, hope for the best.

It was a losing gambit, but it had a better chance of working than going out on her own.
