This season of candidate contraction has turned into one of expansion.
Former Gov. Deval Patrick is expected to announce a presidential run on Thursday morning, with a trip to New Hampshire to file for the primary ballot later in the day.
Interest in Patrick and Bloomberg -- plus among the"many, many, many people" who Hillary Clinton says are urging her to run -- reflect anxiety about the ability of an overstuffed field to sort itself out. For all the Democratic unity on display in impeachment hearings, concerns about defeating President Donald Trump remain urgent and divisive.
But the diplomats called to testify in the first public impeachment hearings remained skeptical. Ambassador William Taylor was having none of the spin. All the back and forth raised more questions for the president and his White House team. If Trump thought Ukraine was too corrupt or undeserving of U.S. aid, why did he not take the constitutional mechanism given to him and veto the spending bill? Why did his acting chief of staff not say publicly that they were unsure about delivering the aid?
But for Biden and his campaign, figuring out an effective response to Trump's attacks on his family -- attacks will only be amplified and repeated with each successive public hearing --has proven to be an arduous task with no clear solution.
