Biden Neglecting Super Tuesday States Days Before Crucial Contests
Biden’s Campaign Has Been Neglecting Super Tuesday States Days Before Crucial Contests
Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden pauses while speaking after receiving an endorsement from House Majority Whip James Clyburn (D-SC) on February 26, 2020 in North Charleston, South Carolina.
2020 Democratic candidate Joe Biden hasn’t been spending as much time in the Super Tuesday states as one would expect ahead of the critical batch of primaries next week — and it could cost him.
The New York Times reported on Wednesday that state Democratic Party leaders have been taken aback by Biden’s lack of ground game as Super Tuesday looms ever closer.
For example, the former vice president’s campaign has only one office in the delegate-rich state of California, compared to the 23 offices of primary frontrunner Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT), who is expected to win big in the state and others next week.
In Texas, which holds the second largest trove of delegates after California, Biden’s campaign hasn’t been knocking on nearly as many doors as the other campaigns.
“I haven’t seen anything other than the events he’s had in Texas,” Gilberto Hinojosa, chair of the Lone Star state’s Democratic Party, said in an interview with the Times.
The Biden campaign’s outreach in other Southern states has been similarly light, according to local party leaders.

Serious question.
Why was Joe out fundraisied by a 38 year old small city mayor, Pete Buttigieg.

Maybe Joe doesn't even know why his fundraising has been so lackluster?
