Sen. Elizabeth Warren’s Rising Star

Could Warren win it all?

While the fortunes of other Democratic hopefuls have been falling, Sen. Elizabeth Warren has been steadily rising in the polls.

Suddenly, it’s beginning to look a lot like Warren. Everywhere you go.

There are only around 400 shopping days until the 2020 election. For Democratic voters, the clock is ticking down toward the Democratic primary which will determine everything.

Namely, who will be the Democratic champion versus Donald Trump. And, Democrats hope, the next U.S. President.

Democratic voters have thus far been confronting a vastly overgrown field of excellent contenders, many probably spurred to run by the perceived weaknesses of the front runner, Joe Biden.

Perceived weaknesses, it would seem. Former Vice President Joe Biden is considered a known quality in the Democratic Party; he is a moderate with a long voting record, an experienced statesman, an everyman who could appeal to working-class voters.

But Biden also came with some baggage; his unfortunate tendency to gaffe, less than stellar fundraising, and previous failed bids to become to Democratic nominee.

The other person surpassing Warren in the polls may also be off the roster.
