'A progressive challenger could launch a principled campaign to constructively give Biden a run for his corporate money in early primary states—raising vital questions about crucial policies along the way.'
when the McCarthy campaign began in November 1967. A few months later, on March 12, 1968, McCarthy received 42 percent of the votes—a stunning result, just 7 percent behind Johnson—in the first-in-the-nation New Hampshire primary. Senator Robert Kennedy jumped into the race four days later. And two weeks after that, Johnson shocked the country by declaring that he would not seek re-election.
Spinners aligned with the White House are careful to detour around the notable shortage of enthusiasm for Biden among the Democratic electorate. New So far, no Democrat in Congress has shown any interest in entering primaries against Biden. Yet a progressive challenger could launch a principled campaign to constructively give Biden a run for his corporate money in early primary states—raising vital questions about crucial policies along the way.
Skeptics might point out that, unlike when McCarthy received strong support from antiwar citizens, now there is no single overriding issue like the Vietnam War. But there is a class war going on with great intensity in the United States—and a wide range of Americans are feeling the countless dire consequences of inordinate corporate power and worsening economic inequality.
