There have been some important developments in the race to be the Democratic Party\u2019s nominee in the 2020 United States Presidential Election. Joe Biden, Bernie Sanders, and Pete Buttigieg have all closed the gap on frontrunner Elizabeth Warren in terms of the election betting odds<\/a>, and longshot Beto O\u2019Rourke has bowed out of the race. Another centrist billionaire is expected to enter the fray with Michael Bloomberg planning on filing paperwork this week, keeping the field remarkably crowded less than a year away from the election. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

WHO WILL BE THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY NOMINEE FOR THE 2020 UNITED STATES PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

ELIZABETH WARREN +200
JOE BIDEN +350
BERNIE SANDERS +600
PETE BUTTIGIEG +600
ANDREW YANG +1000
MICHAEL BLOOMBERG: +1200
HILLARY CLINTON: +1400
TULSI GABBARD: +2000
KAMALA HARRIS +3300
TOM STEYER +5000
AMY KLOBUCHAR +5000
CORY BOOKER +5000<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The fifth\nDemocratic Debate will take place next Wednesday in Atlanta, and the\nodds\nto win the Democratic Party nomination<\/a> will likely\nshift once more after the event. Ten candidates have qualified to be\non stage, but Michael Bloomberg and Hillary Clinton will be nowhere\nnear the debate stage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Neither Bloomberg\nnor Clinton has any chance of winning the nomination. Clinton already\nproved that she couldn\u2019t beat Donald Trump during the 2016\nPresidential Election, and her reputation is too tarnished for her to\nrun for office again. As for Bloomberg, Tom Steyer has already shown\nthat Democrats are not going to support billionaires with wealth and\ntaxes being such divisive issues in the party. Popular progressives\nhave seen their support bases grow with their attacks on\nbillionaires, so it\u2019s hard to imagine public sentiment doing a 180\nin the next couple months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Elizabeth Warren\nremains the favorite to win the Democratic Party nomination, and she\nis currently slightly ahead of her challengers in Iowa. Joe Biden,\nBernie Sanders, and Pete Buttigieg are each relatively close to\nWarren in the polls, but she has been on a slow, upward trajectory\nand her numbers are likely to rise again after the next debate. She\nresonates with voters in a way that few candidates can relate, and\nshe is far more popular than centrists like Biden and Buttigieg. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Biden\u2019s\ncampaign has stopped the bleeding, but he has a long way to go before\nhe becomes the frontrunner once more. He has made numerous mistakes\non the campaign trail, and he likely does not have the stamina to\nsurvive the grind of the campaign trail. The former Vice President\nremains a contender largely due to the popularity of former President\nBarack Obama, and he has tried to tie his campaign to Obama\nrepeatedly throughout the year. Unfortunately, he appears unlikely to\nwin on his own merits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The election\nbetting odds<\/a> on Bernie Sanders have fallen slightly as\nhe has received most of the endorsements from progressive Democrats.\nSanders\u2019 policies remain extremely popular among his base, and he\nhas a more solid foundation than any other candidate in this race. If\nWarren ends up falling behind him, she may end up throwing her\nsupport behind Sanders, making him a serious threat to become the\nnext POTUS. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pete Buttigieg is\nthe most intriguing name in the race. He is the lone candidate to\nrise from relative obscurity to become a real contender, and he\nstands to gain the most if Biden drops out of the race. He has\npositioned himself nicely as a centrist, but he has received a lot of\npushback from the progressive wing of the party due to his proposals\nand fundraising.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No one else\nstands a great chance of winning the Democratic nomination. Andrew\nYang is too much of a centrist for the Democratic Party, and while he\nhas received some publicity, he has yet to turn that into significant\nsupport. He has largely been treated as a non-factor on the debate\nstate, and his policies amount to nothing more than window dressing\nonce you dig deep. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tulsi Gabbard is\nmore of an old guard Republican than a Democrat, as you can see from\nher repeat appearances on FOX. Some Republicans have supported her\ncampaign, but this is the Democratic Primary, and she does not have\nthe support she needs within her own party. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\nHarris\u2019 hopes are fading, but she is the only candidate at over\n10-1 odds with any value. She is great on the debate stage, and she\nis still treated like a potential nominee by moderators. The\nCalifornia senator needs a great performance next week to give her\nstar a boost.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
