For the second time in less than three months, Joe Biden has opted to skip a high-profile forum of White House 2020 hopefuls in California.
LOS ANGELES – With California shaping up to be one of the most hotly contested battlegrounds of the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination race, the majority of nearly two dozen White House hopefuls have descended on the state this week for a slew of campaign events and a chance to address the Democratic National Committee’s summer meeting.
Biden hasn't ignored California. He spent a total of six days in the Golden State during the first four months of his campaign with the bulk of the travel built around fundraisers. Story continuesTo be certain, California will certainly play a more meaningful role in the nominating process this time around. In 2016, the California primary was held June 7 – so late in the cycle that the state, despite distributing more than 400 delegates, was an afterthought in the presidential nomination process.
"Conventional politics ended with Obama,” said Harris, who is leaning toward supporting Sen. Bernie Sanders in the California primary. “There's no middle ground in American anymore. If you shoot for the middle, you miss both sides.” In Wisconsin, Warren had 29% of likely Democratic voter support, Sanders 24% and Biden 20%, according to a Change Research poll published this month. Sanders beat Hillary Clinton by 13 points in the 2016 Wisconsin primary before Trump narrowly defeated Clinton there in the general election. Wisconsin is crucial to Democrats' hopes of defeating Trump in November 2020.
At the same time, he maintains a busy fundraising schedule that has him zigzagging the country in search of campaign dollars he will need to fuel his primary battle and, he hopes, a general election battle with Trump should he win the nomination.The Biden campaign on Thursday announced it had picked up the endorsements of 39 South Carolina pastors and faith community leaders and the appointment of a prominent pastor, the Rev.
Last month, Los Angeles Supervisor Hilda Solis, who served as labor secretary in the Obama administration, took him out for some campaigning and tamale tasting in the city. The idea of electability was at the center of his first major television blitz that began airing in Iowa this week. “It’s a problematic argument to make for two reasons,” said Kimberly Nalder, director of the Project for an Informed Electorate at Sacramento State University. “Electability is often a euphemism for white men. The other issue for Democrats is that this race is ultimately likely to come down to base strategy and how to motivate folks to come to the polls who are in your coalition but are not high-propensity voters.
At a fundraiser in Los Angeles Wednesday, Sen. Cory Booker made the case that it's passion that will determine if Democrats will win the White House in November 2020.
