The Joe Biden campaign has new life after the former vice president’s South Carolina Democratic primary win. The candidate is so excited about what the win means for his political future, he called the campaign “resurrected” in his victory speech. Now, rumors that he might be considering asking Kamala Harris to join the campaign as his eventual running mate has some corners of social media excited about a prolonged run towards the nomination and a victory over current front runner, Bernie Sanders.
As Bill Palmer of The Palmer Report pointed out, Biden has talked in the recent past about wanting Harris to work with him. While he didn’t explicitly say as his vice presidential candidate, the Saturday victory could spur “the announcement.”
Palmer does point out that Biden claimed he’d have to talk to Harris about what spot she would want in his administration. Instead of vice president, she might want the Attorney General spot instead. If that happens, the writer thinks Stacey Abrams could be next in line for the spot.
While that report seems unsure if and when the call will be made, other analysts were very clear the talk of a team-up has them thinking it could be a big blow to the other candidates in the race.
Jon Cooper, a former campaign chair for Barack Obama and the current chairman of the Democratic Coalition posted on Twitter that he believes Joe Biden and Kamala Harris are likely having “a long chat tonight.” CNN analyst Bakari Sellers didn’t posit any theories on whether or not an announcement is coming soon, but he did tweet out he’d love to see that ticket, calling Biden/Harris “special.”
Bloomberg illustrates why the South Carolina primary win was so important for Biden. With the victory, the former vice president picked up 28 delegates with Bernie Sanders gathering seven. That has catapulted Biden into second place over Indiana mayor Pete Buttigieg. The results are still coming in on Saturday night and as of 9:30 pm, there are still 30 delegates left to be handed out.
That means there is a chance Sanders could fall into second place before the weekend is out and Biden would have quite a bit of momentum heading into Super Tuesday. As Palmer points out, there are positives and negatives for announcing a running mate this early, with so much still in doubt. The biggest negative, especially from Harris’ point of view, is that it would be near impossible for her to be the running mate for any other candidate should Joe Biden fade. What his next move with his current momentum will be is something that will be watched closely over the next few days.

inquisitr--2020-03-01--Tom Steyer Drops Out Of 2020 Presidential Race, Giving Potential Boost To Joe Biden

Billionaire former hedge fund manager Tom Steyer is dropping out of the 2020 presidential race , leaving the Democratic primary after failing to earn any delegates in early states .
Despite Steyer taking a more progressive stance in his campaign , many political experts believe his exit just days ahead of Super Tuesday could be a boost to former Vice President Joe Biden .
Steyer , who for years has led efforts to gain support to impeach President Donald Trump , spent more than $ 150 million in the early states of Iowa , New Hampshire , Nevada , and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ enough votes to win delegates in any of them , Business Insider reported .
He told supporters on Saturday that he would be leaving the race , making the announcement after voting results showed that he failed to reach the 15 percent threshold in South Carolina that would have allowed him to get delegates there .
As the Business Insider report noted , Steyer took a more progressive lane during his Democratic primary campaign but failed to make inroads with voters as Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders dominated this demographic en route to winning @ @ @ @ @ @ @ knocking former Vice President Joe Biden out of his status as the race ’ s frontrunner .
A number of political experts believe that Steyer ’ s exit could help Biden , who scored his first win with a decisive victory in South Carolina .
Ahead of Saturday ’ s vote , many noted that Steyer seemed to be pulling support away from Biden , as were other moderates remaining in the race .
“ At this critical point , candidates like Steyer , Klobuchar and Bloomberg are splitting up the anti-Bernie vote @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Jon Cooper , who has opposed Sanders .
Ahead of Saturday ’ s primary , Biden also weighed in on the effect that Steyer ’ s spending had on the race , particularly with Biden ’ s own support among black voters .
In an appearance on CBS ’ s Face the Nation last week , Biden said that Steyer ’ s large advertising spending was cutting into his own support among black voters in South Carolina , a key base of support for Biden .
“ What ’ s happening is you @ @ @ @ @ @ @ tens of thousands of dollars , millions of dollars , out campaigning there , ” Biden said , via Politico .

“At this critical point, candidates like Steyer, Klobuchar and Bloomberg are splitting up the anti-Bernie vote,” tweeted Democratic strategist and fundraiser Jon Cooper, who has opposed Sanders.
“They’re drawing away support from Joe Biden, the Democrat who is best positioned to defeat Trump, which should be everyone’s overarching goal.”
Tom Steyer just dropped out of the race. He never should have been in it to begin with. We'll see if he endorses anyone at this time. But it probably helps Joe Biden that Steyer is now out of the way before Super Tuesday.#SouthCarolinaPrimary — Palmer Report (@PalmerReport) March 1, 2020

The individual was actually a male in his 50s who worked at a long-term care facility in Washington .
As The Inquisitr previously reported , the CDC took responsibility for the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the president with the wrong information prior to the press conference .
Trump added that while there will likely be additional cases in the United States , he suggested that officials have a better understanding of the virus and healthy individuals should be fine even if they contract the disease .
While speaking , Trump sounded distinctly subdued from his normal tone .
People were quick to note the difference , with one person joking that the president should be tested for the virus .
“ Trump out of breath…HAS HE BEEN TESTED @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ?
?
?
?
” one person tweeted .
“ Was he sleep-talking through this press conference ?
His energy level looks like the only thing holding him upright is that podium !

Allan Lichtman , a political science professor at American University and the co-creator of the Keys to the White House prediction model correctly called seven of the last eight elections .

He added that such an outcome “ would be very interesting , who knows what might come out of that.

According to Trump ’ s campaign manager Brad Parscale , the president ’ s team has created a “ huge ” operation to confront the eventual Democratic nominee .

According to McConnell, he has not held a vote on such a bill because it’s unclear if it would be able to pass, or if Donald Trump would sign it into law.
Regardless, Democrats continue to push for gun control and take aim at the NRA, the gun industry’s top lobbying group. Former Vice President Joe Biden recently spoke directly to gun manufacturers and claimed he was going to take them down.
As The Inquisitr previously reported, Houston Police Chief Art Acevedo previously called out McConnell for failing to tackle gun violence in the wake of the death of Houston, Texas, police Sgt. Christopher Brewster.


inquisitr--2020-02-29--Bernie Sanders’ Rise Contrasted With Coronavirus Spread In CNN Segment

During a recent segment on CNN , commentator and radio host Michael Smerconish contrasted the spread of the coronavirus to the rise of Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders , as reported by Media Matters for America .
“ Can either coronavirus or Bernie Sanders be stopped ?
” he asked .
“ I ’ m Michael Smerconish in Philadelphia .
An already unpredictable presidential campaign just became moreso.
” Smerconish continued to cover a “ list of intangibles ” in the political landscape , including the coronavirus , the lingering effect of impeachment , and the possibility that no individual from @ @ @ @ @ @ @ be able to earn a majority of the delegates necessary to secure the nomination .
Sanders is currently viewed as the national leader in the Democratic primary .
According to a report from The New York Times , some national and state Democratic party leaders are not happy with Sanders ’ success .
Such leaders are reportedly willing to bet on a brokered national convention to stop the 78-year-old politician ’ s nomination , an action which could damage an already divided party .
While Sanders has expressed his belief that the candidate @ @ @ @ @ @ @ win the nomination , not everyone is on-board with such a scenario .
“ Bernie wants to redefine the rules and just say he just needs a plurality , ” said Jay Jacobs , the New York State Democratic Party chairman and a superdelegate .
“ I don ’ t think we buy that .
I don ’ t think the mainstream of the Democratic Party buys that .
If he doesn ’ t have a majority , it stands to reason that he may not become the nominee.
” According to The @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Sanders win has pushed some Democrats to call on Senator Sherrod Brown of Ohio to be a “ white knight nominee ” at a potentially brokered convention .
This possibility hinges partly on the belief that Brown could carry Ohio in the general election .
Per Vox , Sanders is currently fighting with businessman Tom Steyer for second place in South Carolina , which holds its primary Saturday .
In first place is former Vice President Joe Biden , who has been leading the primary in the state for some time .
“ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in February found Biden to have a sizable lead on his fellow candidates , ” Vox reported .
Despite the likelihood of a Biden victory in South Carolina , it ’ s not guaranteed .
As The Inquisitr previously reported , FiveThirtyEight ’ s Geoffrey Skelley noted that Biden hasn ’ t invested much campaign resources in Super Tuesday states compared to Sanders , who has spent a significant amount of resources in these crucial areas .

“ He [ Obama ] almost certainly will resist this idea , but Obama should play a leadership role in a party bereft of leaders by endorsing Joe Biden before Super Tuesday .

“ No , it isn ’ t hurting me and I don ’ t think it ’ s time .

inquisitr--2020-03-01--Coronavirus Could Spread ‘More Rapidly’ In Areas With Most Donald Trump Supporters, Says Journalist

In an article for Raw Story , journalist Joshua Holland expressed his belief that the coronavirus could spread “ more rapidly ” in regions with higher amounts of Donald Trump supporters .
Holland claims that a “ significant share ” of the president ’ s base acts like cultists and believes that such supporters will listen to Trump ’ s purported minimizations of the coronavirus ’ danger .
“ Because of partisan geographical sorting , these people aren ’ t distributed evenly across the country , ” he wrote .
“ They , like the rest of us , tend @ @ @ @ @ @ @ people.
” Holland also claimed Trump deemed the coronavirus a Democrat-created hoax being used to tank the stock market .
However , Breitbart noted Trump did not call the coronavirus itself a hoax but was referring to the Democrats ’ attempts to politicize it .
Such comments echo Trump ally Rush Limbaugh , who said Democrats are weaponizing the coronavirus to take down the president .
The publication also noted that Trump recently warned about the possibility of the coronavirus spreading .
“ There ’ s a chance that it won ’ t @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a chance that it will , and then it ’ s a question of at what level , ” he said during Thursday ’ s White House press conference .
Regardless , Holland believes Trump supporters will likely underestimate the severity of coronavirus .
He notes that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention ( CDC ) highlights “ community mitigation measures ” as the most important first-line defenses against “ highly transmissible infectious diseases ” such as the coronavirus .
Holland concludes that it ’ s “ not unreasonable ” to believe @ @ @ @ @ @ @ rapidly ” in regions with higher concentrations of Trump supporters compared to other areas .
When facing criticism for his use of the word “ hoax ” following the first coronavirus death in the U.S. , The Guardian reported that Trump again turned his crosshairs to Democrats .
“ The hoax is on them , ” he said during a White House press conference .
“ I ’ m not talking about what ’ s happening here .
I don ’ t like it when they are criticizing [ federal health officials ] @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ” The president also declined the entertain the idea that his use of the word “ hoax ” could deter people from taking precautions against the coronavirus , which continues to spread across the world .
As previously reported by The Inquisitr , a recent report from The Washington Post spotlights the alleged chaos in the Trump administration ’ s response to the coronavirus .
According to the report , former aides , officials , public health experts , and lawmakers suggest that the White House is struggling to create a plan for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a lack of leadership .

As 3 New Coronavirus Cases Reported Sunday, Donald Trump Tweets About ‘GREAT’ Food At Mexican Restaurant

Donald Trump tweeted his support for an Arizona Mexican restaurant on Sunday , though he got the location of the eatery wrong .
Three new cases of coronavirus were reported Sunday in the United States , according to a New York Times report — two in Washington state , and one in Rhode Island , that state ’ s first .
But while Donald Trump took to his Twitter account to announce new coronavirus screening measures for travelers entering the country , he also took time to attack former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg — and to praise a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ tweet , however — as seen in the Facebook post below , from the restaurant ’ s owners — Trump mistakenly named the location of Sammy ’ s Mexican Grill as Phoenix , Arizona , rather than the actual location which is in the Tucson area .
“ The food is GREAT at Sammy ’ s Mexican Grill , ” Trump tweeted , moments after owners Jorge and Betty Rivas appeared on the Fox News program Fox & Friends on Sunday morning , as described in a report by Fox Business .

” Live-tweeting Fox News broadcasts has been a regular habit for Trump throughout his term in office .
According to researcher Matt Gertz , who has studied Trump ’ s Twitter patterns , in 2019 alone Trump live-tweeted Fox programs 613 times .
That was an average of approximately 1.5 tweets per day directly echoing , amplifying , or otherwise responding to reports and commentary by Fox News .
In the one post on his Sunday Twitter feed @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of 11 a.m EST , Trump said that travelers flying to the United States from “ high risk ” countries would now be screened for the virus both on departure and upon arrival in the U.S .
The Rhode Island coronavirus patient is reported to be a male in his 40s who had recently traveled to Italy , arriving back in the U.S. on February 22 .
Italy has become one of the countries hardest hit by the outbreak of the new virus , with more than 1,100 cases confirmed , and 29 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Saturday .
The two new cases in Washington state , which on Saturday was also the site of the first coronavirus fatality in the U.S. , are both men in their 60s .
