Rivals No Longer Betting on Biden Implosion

January 17, 2020 · 10:57 am ET · Leave a Comment

Politico: “Democratic Party officials and operatives working with several of Biden’s opponents now say they no longer believe Biden’s support is as fragile as they once believed it was. Instead, they now see a durable floor of support for him at least in the first caucus state.”

“His opponents are preparing for defections to Biden on caucus night from supporters of more moderate candidates who have dropped out already, or who fail to meet the 15 percent threshold necessary to win delegates. Rival campaigns are urgently working to persuade caucus-goers and potential endorsers in Iowa to shift their support elsewhere.”
