There are lots of relevant explanations here and I'd like to add that her campaign was very much a rushed job. She wasn't even in the primaries. The Democratic party held on to Biden for too long until he proved on air that he was mentally unfit and then it was a scramble to replace him because they knew he couldn't win. I think, in addition to everything else, the fact that it seemed like they were going to just push Biden through in spite of him being unfit to serve and then replaced him when their hand was forced, only to do so without a traditional primary and enough time to actually prepare, really shook the faith of some voters.

(For the record, I still voted for Harris because duh, and I actually really like Walz and hope he runs next)
