Highlights and analysis from Biden’s big night

This is from a story I did in September, and I think it’s very telling:

“Asked what his message is to former supporters who are now eyeing other candidates, as well as past Clinton voters, he says: ‘Let me be very honest with you. We’re trying to do what no candidate, certainly in the modern history of this country, has tried to do: We are taking on the entire establishment. That means we are taking on Wall Street. We’re taking on the insurance companies. We are taking on the drug companies. We are taking on the fossil fuel industry.’ He adds, ‘We are taking on the Republican establishment, and we’re taking on the Democratic establishment.’

Sanders could note that he’s on Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer’s leadership team or that he worked his tail off campaigning for Clinton in the general election or that he rallied for legions of Democrats in the 2018 midterms. But he doesn’t. His answer is aimed not at the traditional Democrats who Warren has attracted along with progressives, but at the disaffected and anti-establishment voters — and nonvoters — who either aren’t tuning into the race yet, haven’t been called by pollsters, or have left him for other candidates.”
