Democrats see Joe Biden as a wobbly 2020 front-runner
“I think [Biden] primarily he takes from the white men, so I think that the candidates of color in particular are going to be better able to withstand another white guy getting in the race,” said Colin Strother, a Texas Democratic strategist who once advised Julián Castro, the former San Antonio mayor running for president.
The first days of Biden’s campaign brought signs of how difficult a task that may be. In a Friday appearance on “The View,” Biden again refused to directly apologize to Anita Hill for how he handled the 1991 Clarence Thomas Supreme Court hearings. For months, most Democrats had been careful to avoid directly criticizing Biden, a beloved figure to a generation of Democrats. Sen. Kamala Harris went so far to say she adores Biden. "Come on in, the water is warm, Joe,” she said.“Congratulations to Vice President Biden,” O’Rourke told reporters over the weekend in Las Vegas, when asked about Biden’s $6.3 million fundraising haul, a number that surpassed O’Rourke’s then-record $6.1 million mark.
Warren — riding new momentum after an energetic CNN town hall and well-received appearance at a forum focused on women of color — jabbed at Biden for his support of Wall Street in bankruptcy disputes.
