Show Notes
While most of the political media was focused on the results of the New Hampshire primary last Thursday (and the pivot to Nevada and South Carolina), former Vice President Joe Biden was in New York City attending two big donor fundraisers, despite the fact that the state won’t hold its primary until April. Meanwhile, Pete Buttigieg was in Indianapolis on Thursday and San Francisco on Friday for the same reason.
Various news organizations, however, report on an increasingly likely scenario of former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg and Senator Bernie Sanders as being the last two Democratic candidates who can afford to remain in the race, but based on entirely opposite financial models.
