(7 years ago)The presidential campaign of the Democrats continues to have changes as one candidate leaves and another joins an already large group, hoping to replace President Donald Trump next year. Former Vice President Joe Biden remains the main candidate among the Democrats, but he is facing increasingly strong challenges [...]
Liberal activist, billionaire Tom Steyer officially declared his candidacy through a video:
If you think there's something that really deserves criticism, try as hard as you can, but don't worry, let the event flow naturally. That's exactly what I'm doing. My name is Tom Steyer and run for president. “
Mr. Steyer has long supported the idea that President Donald Trump is subject to the process that could bring his dismissal, an issue for which the Democrats of Congress continue to be divided.
But as Mr. Steyer entered the race, California Congressman Eric Swell became the first to officially leave the group of Democrats in the presidential race.
There's a group of talented people, and that was one of the challenges for us. This is a very difficult race, and it has to be complicated even more, so I look forward to following debates from the position of an ordinary citizen. ”
Swanwell participated in the first broadcast debate on the NBC network and lashed out at the candidate who led the Democrats' race, Joe Biden.
Beden continues to lead the democratic race, though there were difficult moments in the first debate.
The former vice president is now trying to avoid strong challenges from California Senator Kamala Harris and Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren, who both had an increase in polls after the debate.
The departure of Mr. Swell from the race is a sign that the process of elimination in the field of Democrats has begun, says analyst Jim Kessler.
I think we're at the point where we have eight to ten candidates who have the chance to win the appointment. In these debates we have seen some of the candidates with fewer support and continue to be so. Maybe it's time for them to leave...”- says analyst Kessler.
The Democrats do not start the voting process to choose their candidate until Iowa's preliminary elections in February.
It is a long time enough for contenders to find each other's shortcomings and plant divisions within the party, says analyst Larry Sabato.
“A will they be willing to support a single candidate among 20 candidates, who will receive party appointment when their candidate loses? This is a big test for a party whenever it is and the answer can never be known so early” ) says analyst Sabato.
The Democrats have their next debate in Detroit late this month. / VoA
