I guess you're assuming that Biden won't run in 2024? Because if he does, then of course Kamala Harris could not or would not run. Then she could run for president in 2028.

But if Biden signals that he won't run in 2024, then sure, she would likely be the Democrat nominee. If she lost the election, would Biden resign in November so she could be a lame duck for a month?

No, that would never happen. It would be a direct contravention of the will of the electorate. Congress would never go for it, and it would be a huge risk for Democrats for no gain. If voters were likely to care enough about the first female president to reward Democrats for such a maneuver, well then they would've elected Harris.
