Former Vice President Joe Biden tried to take the high road. He played his role in the Obama administration as more influential than it actually was and relied on heavy-duty fundraising to drive the early weeks of his campaign for president. But it didn’t work. He was attacked and was unprepared to respond, particularly at the first debate in which he was pummeled by Senator Kamala Harris and others.
Now, Biden’s campaign has been “revamped” to make him more aggressive. If the other candidates are going to play in the dirt, he’s ready to roll up his sleeves and grab some mud himself, according to a report by Washington Examiner.
His poll numbers plummeted after a near-disastrous debate performance in Miami last month, when he wilted under an attack from Sen. Kamala Harris of California. He will now face Harris again in a Detroit debate next Wednesday, along with Sen. Cory Booker of New Jersey, with whom he has tangled this week.
Will getting down and dirty help Biden? It depends. If he comes across as a bully against Harris, Cory Booker, or other candidates who are not old white males, the reverse effect could happen. He might alienate himself to minorities in the party which make up a growing segment of the Democratic voter base. On the other hand, he’ll be seen as too weak to take on President Trump if he continues to take the high road. It isn’t easy being the frontrunner in a field that has two-dozen people gunning for you and four other candidates who have been polling and fundraising well.
At this point, he has everything to lose and the only thing he can gain is to eliminate some of the competitors as quickly as possible. But even in eliminating lower candidates, it doesn’t change the real challenge he faces: A party that seems beholden to the far-left radical progressive wing of the party.
It isn’t just the other candidates he has to contend with, either. Groups like the Justice Democrats have already been attacking him. They haven’t come out endorsing any of the other candidates yet, but it’s assumed they favor either Senators Elizabeth Warren or Bernie Sanders among the frontrunners. The other two leftists in the top tier – Harris and South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg – just aren’t progressive enough for the Justice Democrats.
For Biden to stay on top, he’ll need to go on the attack without coming across as a privileged bully. That may be harder than it sounds when going up against self-proclaimed victims and vying for the votes of Democrats who love victimhood.
