Analysis: Pete Buttigieg’s ability to take a punch is something to watch as the Democratic candidates face off at Friday night's debate in New Hampshire.
Biden told voters this week that he took a"gut punch" in Iowa. He's been knocked down before and come back, he said. But the truth is, that was his best showing ever in three tries in the Iowa caucuses. He's lacked energy on the stump, and he probably needs a big performance to show he's capable of slugging it out over the course of a long campaign.
Sanders has long treated Biden as the main obstacle in his path to the nomination, taking his biggest swings at Biden's record and platform. How Sanders treats Biden in this debate — whether he continues to hammer the former vice president or leaves him alone — will demonstrate whether Sanders thinks Biden has a comeback left in him.This was supposed to be a stronghold for Warren.
"I take personal responsibility for this," she said Thursday."And I'm working with my team to address these concerns."Even though this debate is taking place in a state that is 93 percent white, expect to hear the candidates speaking to voters of color even more than they have so far.
A poll conducted by the Pew Research Center in the middle of last month showed Sanders leading nationally among Hispanic voters with 30 percent, followed by Biden at 22 percent and Warren at 11 percent. Among black voters, Biden led at 36 percent, followed by Sanders at 13 percent and Warren at 9 percent. The upshot: There appears to be a lot of room for these candidates to do more to attract voters of color to their campaigns.
