It has been less than two weeks since President Biden dropped his re-election bid and threw his support behind Vice President Kamala Harris.

Already, Ms. Harris has closed the gap with former President Donald J. Trump in some national polls. The Harris campaign said it had raised more than $200 million in a week. Ms. Harris’s supporters even broke attendance records on Zoom, with one group gathering more than 160,000 people on a single call.

After more than a year of a presidential contest that was defined by its stability — and people who said they really didn’t like their options — there has been a clear vibe shift.

Where did the new energy come from, and how sustainable is it?
