Even if he keeps winning only a quarter of the vote, Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders could still capture the 2020 Democratic nomination for president.
WASHINGTON – Bernie Sanders won New Hampshire’s Democrat primary with just over one-quarter of the vote.So why are many center-left Democrats worried that the self-described democratic socialist is the favorite to win the nomination?
USA TODAY/Ipsos poll: For voters, Bernie Sanders outranks other Democrats – and Trump – on values, empathy Building a coalitionButtigieg won the broadest support among different types of voters in Iowa and New Hampshire. But in the more racially diverse states of Nevada and South Carolina, which vote later this month, Buttigieg will have to attract more support from voters of color than polls show he’s getting nationally.
There is also the possibility the race remains a muddle all the way to June with no candidate receiving a majority of the delegates before the national convention in July, Galston and Kamarck wrote in an analysis Wednesday.More: Bloomberg once blamed end of 'redlining' for 2008 housing collapse “I’m a centrist Democrat. I’m not a progressive. I think some of the stuff he talks about is just financially unrealistic,” said Steve Nadeau, a Biden fan from Massachusetts, about Sanders. “It’s too radical.”
That left Sanders atop the field with 26% despite the fact that 53% of New Hampshire Democrats backed either Buttigieg, Klobuchar or Biden. Democrats face a somewhat similar situation to what Republicans went through in 2016 with their crowded field of candidates. Trump became the GOP nominee despite the fact that only 23% of Republican voters consistently supported him from the start of the nominating process through April 2016, according to Pew surveys.
But, if Sanders gets a delegate lead, Democrats’ proportional allotment of delegates can make it difficult for others to catch him. Attacking SandersSanders has also benefited from the fact that he’s not been subject to a sustained attack. Warren hasn’t gone after him in their competition for the party’s most liberal voters.
