Harris would have beat Trump if she promised to fight for universal healthcare or free college. Or if she had simply not sprinted to the right by wanting to build Trump's wall and promising to put Republicans in her cabinet. It was honestly impressive how hard Harris worked to throw the election.
She probably would've done better if she hadn't done that and put some distance between her and Biden, but obviously that's tricky when you were actually part of the admin. When I say she was the worse candidate I don't really mean her personally, it's more about what the electorate was looking for, which means more of an outsider who was willing to say how things could've been handled better by the previous administration instead of saying everything's great.
