The shifting Democratic presidential primary is on full display at California party convention
Former Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick launches a late-entry bid for the Democratic presidential nomination. The longtime Obama ally will offer centrists another alternative to Joe Biden. But he faces steep odds.
“You will forgive me if I’m a bit exhausted. It’s been an eventful week,” he said. “Our democracy is at risk, more so now than any time in my life. … The greatest threat to our democracy comes from within: a president without ethical compass. There is nothing more dangerous than an unethical president who believes he is above the law.”The gathering took place at the end of a week in which the House launched public impeachment hearings and just over 100 days before California’s March 3 primary.
California Sen. Kamala Harris faced great scrutiny over the weekend about her slide in the polls — she came in at 3% in an Iowa poll released Saturday, and at 1% in a recent New Hampshire poll. Convention attendees whispered about stories of dysfunction and tension on her campaign team, reports that Harris denied.
Her supporters turned out in force, chanting, “I don’t know what you’ve been told, Kamala is strong and bold,” outside the convention hall and cheering her on as she spoke at a restaurant and then later at a gay bar.
