A record number of Democrats are planning to take part in the presidential primaries. But as the dynamics of the election race show, only a few of them have the opportunity to win this fight.
Many past candidates, who were called favorites of the race, slide down the polls. Ex-Congressman Beto O’Rourke, “the new Kennedy,” as he was approached, now has no more than 3-4% voter support. Mass shifts took place in his headquarters the other day: the old members of the politician team left the door slamming loudly.
Elizabeth Warren is in a no less difficult position. She is already trying to resort to the most desperate measures. Warren supported the theme of reparations to blacks and Indians, and the payment of student debt at the expense of the state, and the creation of free education in public colleges, and state medicine.
Warren urged to accept the articles of impeachment of Donald Trump – just after the publication of the report of Robert Muller, who justified the president. Recently, in a published article, Warren compared herself to Deineris Targaryen, saying that they both are fighting for workers’ rights. But all for nothing: senator ratings do not grow.
At the same time among the leaders of the race suddenly appeared Pete Buttigieg – mayor of a small town in Indiana, a good speaker and a graduate of Harvard and Oxford. For a short month of being a candidate, he collected almost $ 10 million.
In the first place is now firmly trying to gain a foothold Bernie Sanders. He also dominates the entire progressive part of the voters of the Democratic Party. Their number hardly exceeds 30-35%, but they are more motivated than others to vote in the primaries.
Joe Biden, who still maintains a leading position in several polls, is gradually losing the support of party supporters. Biden’s main problem is harassment scandals (already 8 girls accused the ex-vice-president of harassment). But now another factor is also playing: he is too slow with the official nomination, which obviously shows that Biden is not very keen for the presidency.
