Who’s most electable? 2020 Democrats point to themselves.
By Chelsea Janes Chelsea Janes Reporter covering the 2020 presidential campaign Email Bio Follow May 6 at 7:29 PM DETROIT — From one of the key Midwestern states flipped by President Trump, Sen. Kamala D. Harris took aim at those who contend the most electable Democratic nominee will be one who connects with the white working-class voters credited with his victory.
If Harris was arguing for a broader racial definition of the party’s targeted voters, Sen. Elizabeth Warren recently cast the electability question in terms of gender. The dispute over what kind of candidate is most electable reflects a divide that has convulsed the party since Trump defeated Hillary Clinton in 2016.
That gives the current campaigns the ability to argue either side of the debate — as do new polls showing voters divided on which path they want the next nominee to take. Harris’s Sunday night speech recalled Obama’s approach in 2008, though Harris has been careful to distance herself from the former president to limit comparisons between the two.
Similar grumblings have percolated quietly in Iowa, which Harris has visited three times since announcing her campaign, including the day after her announcement. Although she has visited there as much as any state other than South Carolina, some Iowa Democrats suggest that Harris has not made her presence felt as much there as in other states.
