Why would they? Harris has Biden's war chest, a set of political positions that appeals to the great majority of Democrats (as well as independents and even some moderate Republicans), name recognition, 3 1/2 years of on-the-job training, etc.
Most importantly, Biden was already an elderly man in 2020. There was a very real possibility that he could die in office. In that sense, 81 million voters have already kinda-sorta voted for Harris for president.
