HAMPTON, N.H. — Three weeks ago, Vermont U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders was the undisputed front-runner in his neighboring state of New Hampshire’s first-in-the-nation 2020 presidential primary.
Sanders, having raised a historic $5.9 million in the first 24 hours after his campaign launch, was preparing to host nearly 5,000 coast-to-coast volunteer organizing events as Granite State [polling] revealed him winning a full third of voters in an otherwise splintered field of 19 Democratic candidates.
“The 2020 Race Is Going Just Like Bernie Sanders Wanted,” a headline in The Atlantic reported April 17.
“Bernie Sanders Is the New No. 1,” CNN affirmed April 24.
Then former Vice President Joe Biden announced his own bid April 25.
When Biden arrived in this seacoast town of Hampton to kick off his New Hampshire campaign Monday, he came with a record-breaking $6.3 million first-24-hour fundraising haul and Granite State polling that now shows him leading Sanders by a 2-1 margin — 36%-18%.
“Biden’s Entry into the Democratic Race Provides a Jolt to the Sanders Candidacy,” reports the Washington Post’s latest headline.
“Joe Biden Is the Clear 2020 Front-Runner Now,” CNN adds.
