“This field is going to be winnowed out pretty quickly,” Joe Biden said. “...It’s going to work its way through relatively quickly for all of us.”
That’s the message several of former Vice President Joe Biden’s rivals for the Democratic presidential nomination are sending with their recent campaign moves., told reporters in Los Angeles this week. “...It’s going to work its way through relatively quickly for all of us.”
O'Rourke's campaign manager, Jennifer O'Malley Dillon, told NBC News that his team is ready for either a protracted primary or a race that he can lock down quickly.Telegraphing the possibility of a long-slog delegate fight — and recognizing the reality of Biden's early strength — is also a useful frame for Sen. Kamala Harris, D-Calif., currently emphasizing the value of voters of color in key swing states that President Donald Trump won in 2016.
Harris' case against the"electability" argument for Biden revolves around the idea that the Democratic nominee will need a coalition that includes an energized contingent of voters of color. Right now, Biden is not only the far-and-away leader in the Democratic race, with a 41.4 percent mark in the Real Clear Politics average of polls, but he is the favorite among black and Hispanic voters.
"At a time when the biggest financial institutions in this country were trying to put the squeeze on millions of hardworking families who were in bankruptcy because of medical problems, job losses, divorce or death in the family, there was nobody standing up for them," she said."I got in that fight because they just didn’t have anyone. And Joe Biden was on the side of the credit card companies.
Whether it's a long fight or a short one, Biden appears to have determined that his best path is to keep focused on Trump and ignore any slights from his primary rivals.
