As the campaign for the Democratic presidential nomination moves into the home stretch, the two septuagenarians seem to be strengthening their leads.
Those polls — and others like them — have been at the center of Biden’s pitch to Democrats for months: Some other candidate may have your heart, but in your head, you know Biden can win, his campaign argues.
But, despite many predictions that his campaign was headed inexorably downward, Biden has stabilized. In recent weeks, he won compliments for his. He has seemed more confident in campaign appearances, and the $22.7 million he raised in the fourth quarter showed a big improvement over his third-quarter fundraising. His support has ticked back upward a bit in several national polls.
The unanswered question for Biden is the mirror image of the one Sanders faces: If he becomes the nominee, can he inspire a large turnout of younger voters of the sort that played a key role in Democratic victories in the 2018 midterm elections?
