What could be even worse for Democrats' re-election chances and aptitude to defeat the president, strategists warn, is not coalescing around whomever proves victorious by the primary's conclusion—contested convention or not.
Democratic presidential hopeful Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders speaks at a Primary Night event at the SNHU Field House in Manchester, New Hampshire on February 11. Bernie Sanders won New Hampshire's crucial Democratic primary, beating moderate rivals Pete Buttigieg and Amy Klobuchar in the race to challenge President Donald Trump for the White House.
Sanders' biggest opponent standing in his way with the party's most progressive voters is Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren. She's currently in third, trailing Buttigieg and Sanders. "I respect Senator Sanders; I think he's injected some important discourse in the democratic discussion. But would he impact House races, and would he perhaps undermine replacing Donald Trump in the White House because of the four, five, six states that really matter? Yes," Democratic Congressman Dean Phillips of Minnesota told"Many of us have that concern," he expounded.
Sen. Bernie Sanders waves to the crowd after the Vermont delegation cast their votes during roll call on the second day of the Democratic National Convention at the Wells Fargo Center, July 26, 2016 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.Some of his top surrogates on Capitol Hill, like freshman New York Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, are also trying to quell any fears from colleagues.
Democratic presidential hopefuls entrepreneur Andrew Yang , former Mayor of South Bend, Indiana Pete Buttigieg, Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren, former Vice President Joe Biden, Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders and Minnesota Senator Amy Klobuchar arrive for the sixth Democratic primary debate of the 2020 presidential campaign season co-hosted by PBS NewsHour & Politico at Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles, California on December 19, 2019.
Despite less than 2 percent of delegates awarded so far, the New Hampshire primary only heightened the credibility of those who say a contested convention is on the horizon. Progressive candidates Sanders and Warren totaled about 35 percent of the vote, while moderates Buttigieg, Klobuchar and Biden amassed roughly 52 percent.
