2008 was in a less polarized environment and Obama was a once-in-a-lifetime presidential candidate who had universal appeal that I believe Kamala Harris, with all due respect, doesn’t have as much. 2024 is in a more polarized environment so enthusiasm toward Harris, while I don’t doubt is high, is in light of the fact that Biden dropped his presidential bid. This is a much different circumstance.
Anyway, I’d exercise caution regarding comparing voter enthusiasm of 2024 vs 2008.
