[Washington 2nd Reuters]-The nomination race for opposition parties and Democrats for the US presidential election in 2020 is becoming more active with the coming of autumn. Along with that, former Vice President Biden, who continues to have the highest level of approval but has some weaknesses, is likely to face further challenges in the future.

For Mr. Biden's camp, he was worried that he was doubtful about his age as 76, his suitability as a president, or whether he could speak as a moderate party in a democratic party that is becoming more inclined to the left. It has become a seed.

Candidate nominations are usually heated up after Labor Day, which will be five months until February next year, when the first Democratic Party preliminaries are held in Iowa, but they are scattered in terms of ideology and generations. No real candidate has yet to join the party.

Although Biden has gained some of his reputation for serving as vice president and senator, several strategists analyze that voters will start to focus on other candidates and get into trouble.

Against this backdrop of voters' stances, there are growing opportunities for candidates to closely follow Mr. Biden, such as Senator Bernie Sanders and Senator Elizabeth Warren.

Joel Payne, who worked on Hillary Clinton's camp, which was nominated as a Democratic presidential candidate in 2016, pointed out that "Baiden is the weakest runner in the long-standing candidate nomination battle." Mr. Biden's dominance so far added that the name was known to the voters rather than the performance in the election campaign.

However, the road is long. “Most voters don't know about most candidates yet,” said Democrat strategist Delassy Skinner. Iowa ’s strategist, Jeff Link, compared the qualifying to an American football game and explained that Labor Day was just the beginning of the second half. It ’s four quarters. ”

At the moment, Biden has managed to survive the attacks from the opponents and his own mistakes to protect his position. However, due to a series of disagreements and misunderstandings, there are growing concerns about being able to cross Mr. Trump as an older person and as a Democratic candidate.

In the Democratic Party, the colors of the left school are getting deeper, it is heard that moderate Biden is no longer mainstream.

Looking at candidates other than Mr. Biden, Mr. Warren has emerged so far in earnest in the nomination battle, using weapons as an overcrowded schedule and a very strong state level organization It became a presence. Mr. Warren is becoming a rival, especially in Iowa, where Mr. Biden wants to win to prove that he is the best fit for Mr. Trump.

Mr. Warren wonders if he can broaden his support for liberal policy proposals he calls `` big structural change '', but Skinner supports not only left candidates such as Sanders but other candidates He expressed his view that layers could be incorporated.

<One-shot reversal>

None of the promising candidates are considered to be able to reunite a severely divided Democratic Party to win Mr. Trump.

Saunders, who calls himself a "democratic socialist", has a lower approval rating than the 16-year election that was thinned by Mr. Clinton. Senator Kamala Harris was spotlighted at the first debate in June, but has since become less popular. Peter Butigej, the mayor of South Bend, Indiana, was initially attracted by the media, but concerns about the lack of experience in national politics persisted, and the treatment of racial issues in the city administration was criticized and struggled to gain support from the blacks Inside.

Joe Zepeki, a Democratic strategist in Wisconsin in the fierce battle area where Mr. Trump won in 2016, has all suffered shortcomings as everyone has been exposed to “scratches” by this time of the campaign. There was always something that showed confidence that the party would eventually be one under the nominees that were nominated.

That may be the case, but the situation where the most dominant Biden is questionable in terms of age and qualities is that the Democratic Party is now Al Gore in 2000, John Kerry in 2004, 2008 And it means that we are not blessed with “relieved” candidates such as Hillary Clinton in 16 years.

Iowa strategist Link said the 20-year candidate nomination race is still fluid, and there is still a chance to rise to people with low support, such as Senator Collie Booker and former Congressman Beto Oruk. I'm watching.

Mr. Link argued that the current goal for each candidate was to create an organization and to increase the pace at the end.
