In Biden’s own words:
“By the way, I think Ocasio-Cortez is a brilliant, bright woman, but she won a primary. In the general election fights, who won? Mainstream Democrats who are very progressive on social issues and very strong on education and health care.”
How is Biden Doing in the 2020 Presidential Election?
Thus far, Joe Biden is still the Democrat frontrunner of his party. However, he has still taken numerous hits and lost support since his appearance at the first primary debate. In recent weeks, other candidates censures Biden for his remarks on race, school bussing in the 1970s, and the treatment of LGBTQ+ individuals.
Biden clearly believes that a more moderate approach is the best way for Democrats to approach a general election. Certain people on the right-wing have stated this as well; although, staunch progressives disagree. Progressives collectively favor bold and “radical” reform as the approach to bring against President Trump. On multiple occasions, various progressives have stated that Biden is too much of a centrist to defeat the president.
