Opinion: Joe Biden’s huge lead probably won’t last
Former vice president Joe Biden speaks at a rally Tuesday in Henderson, Nev. By Henry Olsen Henry Olsen Columnist focusing on politics, populism, and American conservative thought Email Bio Follow Columnist May 8 at 3:19 PM Former vice president Joe Biden has risen significantly in Democratic primary polls since he formally entered the race last month. While he is now clearly the front-runner, there are many reasons to think the race will tighten considerably by the end of the year.
That’s going to change once he gets on a debate stage with his opponents. Progressives such as Sens. Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren will presumably push him from the left, while others such as former representative Beto O’Rourke will likely make his age a subtle issue by proclaiming a need for new leadership. Biden will have to withstand that pressure, showing he is progressive and energetic enough to give his supporters confidence.
Running a complacent campaign can also cost him. So far, he has focused little on what he wants to do and much on attacking President Trump. But all of his competitors oppose Trump; they are also offering alternative visions of what Democrats should be for as well as what they should be against. Biden will have to do more than express gauzy Democratic pablum. It remains to be seen what Biden’s American vision is.
