Joe Biden’s feeling awfully confident these days
The former vice president thinks he doesn'tto win the primary. He seemed to mock the idea that there's enthusiasm for Elizabeth Warren or that Pete Buttigieg came up with his own plans. And he professed to be untroubled by the possibility of Mike Bloomberg dropping $1 billion to beat him out for the nomination.Biden is dripping with confidence as he tours through Iowa two months before the state’s caucuses, after endless predictions his candidacy would crumble by now.
But despite his wobbly debate performances, lackluster fundraising and verbal mishaps, Biden is still standing. And nationally, he’s still leading in the polls. At least some of Biden’s self-assuredness is about Medicare for All. Biden noted in an interview Monday that Democrats doubted his candidacy early on because he would not embrace a complete remake of the health care system. Now, he said, other candidates are paying a price in the polls for embracing Medicare for All, and moving toward his plan.
Another looming threat for Biden is billionaire Michael Bloomberg, who in a matter of weeks dumped nearly $60 million on television. And Biden said he doesn’t see anyone even close to him in South Carolina polling who could suddenly surge even if they won Iowa.
