So if she's more capable why didn't they let her run and it would probably be over by now, at least there's a puppet master behind Biden then.

It isn't about capability. As I said earlier, the point was that Biden is the start, and the Dems are looking at Harris as their future leader when Biden retires/passes, and will likely be the one who goes for the presidency in 2024. (let's be honest, he could very well die in office). Just going straight in with Harris, who is relatively unknown in comparison to Biden, would've likely ended with a Trump win purely based on the lack of knowledge of her.
 
Looks like it could all hinge on the six votes in Nevada.

She ticks the right boxes, no idea on her policies though.

Universal healthcare, less pollution, push for racial equality and stronger inquiries into systemic racism, higher taxes for corporations and rich people. Not sure about her foreign policy, but I imagine it's a hell of a lot better than the current "everything for America, sod everybody else.".

Thanks Quill, so it's like Succession, hope Harris gets the job of doing our trade deal as I'm getting the vibe Biden is negative towards it.

I guess we can kick our trade deal into the long grass if Biden gets in. Already touting his Irish heritage. We're ducked in that one. At least Trumps mother was Scottish.
 
It looks like the Republicans are keeping control of the Senate.

It's an odd system, that means if Harris, whoops sorry, Biden wins debating time is sucked up rejecting the Presidents wishes.

It's better than Trump being in charge and getting everything he wants through the senate.
