The media seems to be trying to make Bernie Sanders the new flavour of the week…
But ole’ Joe , fresh off of a bus ride thru Iowa just keeps his lead in the national polling….
In the early states of Iowa and New Hampshire?
Recent polls have Biden and Buttigieg within the MOE’s together at the top ….
Slow and steady ole’ Joe keeps leading the race….
But there IS going to be more flack coming his way…
Former Vice President Joe Biden appears to be gaining momentum in the polls ahead of Thursday’s Democratic presidential debate.
An Emerson College poll released this past week found Biden 1 percentage point ahead of South Bend, Ind., Mayor Pete Buttigieg in Iowa, while a recent WBUR/Mass/NC poll Biden just a point behind Buttigieg in New Hampshire.
Both surveys represented strong showings for Biden, who either fell behind or was running even with Sens. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) and Elizabeth Warren(D-Mass.) in earlier polls.
The newer results also put Biden in a stronger position to notch an early win or two ahead of the South Carolina primary and Super Tuesday, two election days where Biden’s advantage with black voters could help him rack up a significant amount of delegates.
Good showings in Iowa and New Hampshire, his campaign says, will help him all the more in South Carolina and on Super Tuesday…..

…others warn that Biden should be cognizant of Trump and Republicans using Ukraine as a distraction. They said the 2016 campaign, when former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton became the Democratic nominee, is a cautionary tale.
“He has to not repeat, perhaps, the sins of the 2016 election in which the media and the right tried to decide our nominating process and overall campaign by distraction,”….
Note…
It appears that Trump wants Biden’s son Hunter, to be the same distraction as Hillary’s emails were back in 2016….
