Opinion: Democrats might need Biden more than they know, JRubinBlogger writes
Former vice president Joe Biden speaks at the Chuck Hagel Forum in Global Leadership on the campus of the University of Nebraska in Omaha last month. By Jennifer Rubin Jennifer Rubin Opinion writer covering politics and policy, foreign and domestic Email Bio Follow Opinion writer March 7 at 12:15 PM Former vice president Joe Biden is not a lock for the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination. The party might want a younger, more progressive face, or at least a fresher one.
In case you think the Democratic Party is made up of left-wing kooks , look at the facts. A recent Harvard-Harris poll finds that the percentage of Democrats who think of themselves as “Obama Democrats” or “moderate Democrats” vastly exceeds those who think of themselves as “progressive Democrats" or “Democratic socialist” .
This is where Biden comes in. Even if he is not the ultimate winner, he has the stature, the money, the name ID and the popularity to seize the party by the scruff of the neck and pull it back from the brink.
