The Memo: Warren emerges as Biden's most dangerous rivalThe Hill, Aug 10, 2019
Elizabeth Warren is now the most serious rival to former Vice President Joe Biden for the Democratic nomination in 2020.
Several recent polls, both nationwide and in Iowa, have shown the Massachusetts senator in second place to Biden. Her performances at televised debates have won widespread praise. And her fundraising has been robust. She raised $19 million in the second quarter.
But if Warren is the one major candidate who is unquestionably on an upward trajectory, there are still significant questions about how she gets past Biden, who continues to lead by a sizable margin in most polls.
The former vice president is particularly popular with black voters, who are pivotal to success in a Democratic primary.
Among progressives, there are also worries about a split in the left-wing vote between Warren and Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt). Even if Warren emerges as the clear standard-bearer of the left in the months ahead, Sanders is not going anywhere.
