The 360 | Can Amy Klobuchar become a contender?
Amy Klobuchar has largely been treated as a noncontender by political pundits since joining the race for the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination. But the senator from Minnesota has hung on even as flashier candidates like Kamala Harris and Beto O’Rourke have dropped out.
Despite some momentum, Klobuchar has several challenges to overcome before she can compete with the top tier of candidates. Biden and Buttigieg have so far swallowed up the lion’s share of moderate support, while Klobuchar’s centrist policies, such as her rejection of Medicare for All, make it hard for her to count on much backing from the left wing of the party, some argue.
Klobuchar provides a middle ground for moderates concerned about age and experience“Given the choice between an old man who is arguably too experienced and a young man who’s decidedly not experienced enough, wouldn’t voters favor a woman whose age and experience level are just right?” — Meghan Daum, Gen
Buttigieg is firmly planted as the moderate alternative to Biden“This concern over the more liberal candidates in the race has provided an opening for someone like Klobuchar, but Buttigieg seems to be getting more attention from voters.” — Elaine Godfrey, Atlantic
