The president’s singular focus last year on Joe Biden as a 2020 threat contributed to his historic impeachment. Now he’s facing the prospect of an entirely different 2020 challenger.
Once his chief rival in the 2020 Democratic presidential field, and the cause of so much presidential angst that Trump mounted a pressure campaign against Ukraine to damage him, the former vice president’s name is now hardly mentioned in conversations with the president’s aides — that is, unless they’re mocking him.
“The campaign doesn’t have to do anything but step back and watch the Democrats demolish themselves. This is like a dream scenario.”Of course, it’s too early for anyone on the Trump campaign to predict which candidate — or candidates — will still be in the race by the time Democrats host their mid-July nominating convention in Milwaukee.
On Friday, a White House official said Trump was irritated when he learned that former Navy Secretary Richard Spencer, who was pushed out of the administration last November, planned to endorse Bloomberg during a campaign stop in Virginia. “But the countervailing view is that at some point his money becomes counterproductive,” this person continued. “When you close in on spending $500 million by the end of February, it starts to look like you’re buying the presidency, and I think that’s a problem for Democrats who are out there criticizing the millionaires and billionaires controlling everything.”
Even as Trump allies amplify concerns that unelected party officials are trying to block Sanders from becoming the party’s nominee, they are divided over the Vermont senator’s electability.
