That would have been far more to the point, IMO. Except that back then, campuses were all holding rallies that effectively suppressed the vote against Harris, with the totally false narrative that Biden was responsible for the misery in Gaza (completely untrue, but the people at the campus rallies were not in listening mode, they were too busy cosplaying with their gear ordered on Amazon). No one will ever convince me that part of the strategy was to defeat Harris. While I realize many kids showed up in good faith, I think the stagers, err, organizers, had a concealed agenda.
