WASHINGTON: As summer ends and the race for the 2020 Democratic US presidential nomination shifts into a higher gear, former Vice President Joe Biden's perilous position atop the vast field stands to be tested under even more pressure.
"Biden is the weakest front-runner in a contested primary in a long time," said Democratic operative Joel Payne, who worked on 2016 Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton's campaign and attributed Biden's standing largely to voters' familiarity with him rather than his performance on the campaign trail.
Biden is also viewed sceptically among some Democrats who dismiss him as an out-of-touch moderate in a party moving leftward. Even so,"if Biden is able to minimise his vulnerabilities, it's still his race to lose," Payne said. Skinner said Warren can expand her appeal beyond siphoning liberal voters from Sanders and other candidates on the left.
Pete Buttigieg, mayor of South Bend, Indiana, drew a flurry of press attention early in his campaign, but concerns persist about his lack of national experience. He, too, has had trouble drawing support from African-American voters amid criticism over his handling of race relations and policing in his city.
