Instead, the Massachusetts senator enters a critical stretch of the campaign relegated to the murky middle. “I think it’s going to be tough if she doesn’t do well,” said Neil Levesque, executive director of the New Hampshire Institute of Politics at Saint Anslem College. Warren placed a respectable
MANCHESTER, N.H. — Elizabeth Warren isn’t struggling like Joe Biden. But she isn’t soaring, like Pete Buttigieg and Bernie Sanders.
Warren’s standing has frustrated her supporters and advisers, who have watched last summer’s surge stagnate and struggled to kick the campaign into a new political gear. They are also aware of the realities of her situation, including the fact that her fundraising has fallen off since she pulled in an impressive $24.6 million last summer.
And if Warren doesn’t win in New Hampshire, it’s unclear where she might. Nevada goes next, then South Carolina and a slate of Southern states with high concentrations of African American Democrats, a demographic that polls suggest the senator has struggled to connect with. The footnotes of presidential primary history are filled with candidates who rose, then fizzled, whose potential never translated into votes and victories. Some come back again in later elections and found more success, like John McCain after his 2000 primary defeat and Hillary Clinton who lost the nomination in 2008. Others shelve their White House ambitions and move on to other endeavors.
Instead, she went long stretches without speaking and sidestepped multiple opportunities to draw sharp contrasts with rivals. She appeared poised to take on Buttigieg, one of the front-runners out of Iowa, when asked by moderators if he had been held sufficiently accountable for the rise in arrests of blacks residents on marijuana possession charges while he was mayor of South Bend, Indiana.
Campaigning Saturday in Manchester, Warren said she wished she’d had more time: “I had my hand up a lot.”
