2020 Vision: Three ways impeachment could reshape the Democratic primary via AndrewRomano
Welcome to 2020 Vision, the Yahoo News column covering the presidential race with one smart, fast takeaway every weekday and a deeper roundup every weekend. Reminder: There are 132 days until the Iowa caucuses and 406 days until the 2020 election.
If the House actually pursues impeachment, however, clarity will be necessary — and it’s not hard to see how this shifting dynamic could boost someone like Warren. Already, Warren is surging in the polls, passing Sanders for second place both nationally and in Iowa, where the first caucuses will be held in just a few months, and where she is tied with Biden for first. Impeachment is unlikely to slow her momentum.
So would impeachment proceedings be bad news for Biden? Not necessarily. What we know so far is that Trump’s Ukraine controversy has definitely focused attention on the former vice president. According to Axios, stories about Joe Biden generated millions more interactions on social media than any other 2020 Democrat last week, and of the 100 biggest stories about Biden over the same period — 65 percent of his 4.3 million interactions — 62 involved the Ukraine.
Impeachment will suck up all the oxygen. On Tuesday, Bernie Sanders proposed an “extreme wealth tax” on the highest-income Americans, along with a “national wealth registry” that he said would help prevent them from avoiding it — his attempt to outflank Elizabeth Warren and regain momentum in the polls. Pete Buttigieg toured Iowa aboard his own version John McCain legendary Straight Talk Express. And the DNC raised its November debate threshold, which could further cull the field.
