He polls very well in California and he was tied for 2nd place with Warren in Arizona. I don't think anybody but Biden will win South Carolina.

My mom flipped a few votes on her own by simply saying Bernie Sanders supports expanding social security.

A senior Joe Biden campaign staffer in charge of outreach to Latino, African-American and women’s groups has quit her post, telling two allies she was frustrated over her lack of input and with the presidential candidate’s immigration rhetoric.

Vanessa Cárdenas, the most senior Latina Biden staffer, had been serving as national coalitions director since the campaign formally announced its existence April 25. She resigned last week and has since changed her bio on Twitter to say she was “formerly with @joebiden.”

Cárdenas did not return a call or text message, but two friends familiar with her thinking told POLITICO that she felt the campaign wasn’t heeding her advice on immigration as she tried to reach out to Latino groups that have had longstanding concerns with the former vice president’s rhetoric and record stemming from the Obama administration.

“The campaign is just hyper-focused on whites in Iowa and African-Americans and it placed less value on Latino outreach,” an immigration activist and friend who spoke with her told POLITICO.

I'm not a big Biden fan but he's a serious contender. Sanders isn't and never was. Garrett78 Dec 2019 #2

Time will tell. I would hope he'll drop out (and endorse the nominee) sooner this time around. Garrett78 Dec 2019 #5

Well there are quite a few behind him and I don't see them dropping out anytime soon. vsrazdem Dec 2019 #9

I'm not talking about dropping out now. Garrett78 Dec 2019 #10

I guess you should direct that at Mayor Pete then. vsrazdem Dec 2019 #12

I've said that I think Buttigieg's alienation of Black folks will doom his campaign. Garrett78 Dec 2019 #13

IMO it will not be Buttigieg. He has been running for another job ever since he was elected Mayor. vsrazdem Dec 2019 #14

He's been mayor for 7 years. That's quite a while. Garrett78 Dec 2019 #15

Spot on. I'd rec your response if i could. -nt. Amimnoch Dec 2019 #7
