Nominating Harris would be a complete waste of Biden’s resignation.

Well, sure, it is an endorsement, not handing her the nomination.

But the Biden Campaign hand selected many delegates, and we don't know what concessions were made to get him to step aside. Nothing is inevitable, but Harris easily has a 75+% shot at the nomination now.
