What if, and hear me out, its actually Harris herself plotting Biden’s post-debate collapse? She sees an opening here but she wants to make sure she comes across as a savior, not as an opportunist. What if she is orchestrating the fallout from the background, slowly but surely putting pressure on Biden to move aside for her? She probably realizes that after 8 years of democratic president, the chances of her winning in 2028 are pretty slim and she wants to make the best use of an opening here because she truly believes she can be the one?
I know, I have watched too much of Veep!
