Pete achieves 7% in DU Rankings, Warren holding at 6%.

I think Gabbard's position here could be a reliable marker between great and non-viable Dem candidates, as seen by DU.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden

The more I hear him talk the more I like him. He has a way of saying things that is so genuine and precise for what our country needs.

Pete says that Medicare should be there for anyone who wants it, but otherwise people should be able to stay on their employers policy. Like Beto, he thinks it makes more sense to make the change gradually, instead of trying to go for single payer all at once. Amy Klobuchar supports something similar, arguing for a public option to be added to Obamacare.
