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,” said a GOP operative close to the Trump campaign. “This is like a dream scenario.” “Mini Mike is part of the Fake News,” Trump wrote in a tweet, taking aim at the media company Bloomberg News that bears the candidate’s name.
“He’s very reactive to what he sees and the fact that Bloomberg’s ads are all over better explains the attacks on him than Trump being fearful of him,” said the GOP operative, adding that Bloomberg “is the definition of the rich technocrat that the Bernie wing [of the Democratic party] can’t stand.” Days after POLITICO first reported that some DNC members had begun discussing ways to weaken Sanders’ surging campaign, Trump tweeted: “They are doing it to Bernie again, 2016.”
Other Republican officials have theorized that Sanders would be Trump’s easiest general election opponent because of his far-left ideological views and their belief that some Democratic officials and voters would have a tough time swallowing his candidacy. For instance, a band of Republican officials in South Carolina began encouraging GOP voters to support Sanders in the state’s open primary on Feb.
