Why does Async Await work with React setState?

Question

The rv or return value of await is defined as:

rv
Returns the fulfilled value of the promise, or the value itself if it's not a Promise.

So since handleChange is not an async or promise value, it's simply returning the natural value (in this case, there is no return, so undefined). Thus, there is no async event loop trigger here to "let it know handleChange is done", it simply just runs in the order you have given it.
