Democrats vying for the 2020 presidential nomination could get tethered to Washington for President Trump’s impeachment trial just as they need to ramp up efforts in early-voting states
WASHINGTON - Democratic U.S. senators vying for the party’s 2020 presidential nomination face the increasing likelihood of being tethered to Washington for President Donald Trump’s impeachment trial just as they need to ramp up efforts in early-voting states.
But the timing might not be all bad news. Some Democratic strategists said the White House contenders could benefit from their prominent perch as voters are largely transfixed by the Senate proceedings. Senate Republicans view the trial as a potential stumbling block that could bolster other Democratic contenders such as Biden, who will be free to campaign while his rivals have to remain in Washington, one Republican aide told Reuters.
Jim Manley, once a top aide to former Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, said that will give the candidates a “huge platform” during the proceedings.
