Claudius dems will still be underdogs, for sure, but i think this was needed. harris was polling better than biden in theoretical polls, now the focus will be on her, so we'll see what the numbers look like. it really comes down to like 5 states, so that is all that matters at this point.
while its never the most likely outcome, dems could still possibly win the house and lose the senate/presidency. that would be really bad on one hand, because alito/thomas are likely to retire if trump wins, and he'll replace them with 40 year old hacks who will cement the scotus supermajority for another 30 years. but, winning the house, even by a slim majority, would prevent trump from passing any catastrophic laws.
