It also shows up in the polls. New polls where he leads in Iowa and New Hampshire, and on the national front, he gained 2 points in the latest Morning Consult poll and reached 23% - the highest he got since Biden announced his campaign (24%) and not far behind his highest point in this poll for these primaries (27%)

Is that so? So it is time to bring impeachement proceedings forward, so that the sitting senators (Sanders, Warren) get called back and have to sit in long hearings, while Biden and Buttigieg can campaign without competition.

Not gonna work, some news outlet (can't remember who) already explained that Bernie can allow to Jet himself from the Senate to the early States with the huge pile of cash he got from his donors and thus both do his work in the Senate and campaign on the forefront during the same day.

Wait, you give Warren a 0% chance?

If you had asked me a few months ago, I would have called her the most likely to win the nomination.

I think her moment has passed. She isn't doing stellar with minorities, and she's having to battle with Pete for the anti-Bernie/anti-Biden voters. I think Warren is the kind of candidate who won't survive a disappointing Iowa/NH.

I think she was doing a good job trying to balance the progressive/moderate wings of the party (unlike Kamala who tried to do the same thing and failed), but it is a pretty delicate balancing act, and I think at some point in her campaign she lost it.

It looks like she stopped dropping and is even slightly recovering now. Not enough to be a threat to Bernie and Biden for now but enough to keep everybody else at more than arm's length.
