Outside the Beltway

An unlikely source argues that it’s too big and poorly targeted.

It’s Manchin-approved.

The silly season has commenced a mite early.

They were “disrespectful to the rule of law.”

Would a woman with his credentials be taken seriously?

The downfall of Andrew Cuomo shines a light on toxic workplaces and governance styles.

The transition is on pace despite President Trump’s best efforts.

An unconvincing attack on the Democratic position.

Joe Biden has either narrowed down his choice for running mate down to two women or he hasn’t.

She would hardly be the first running mate who criticized the nominee in a debate.

The “Biden must pick a black woman” plea may be masking a different agenda.

The Senator from Minnesota is no longer a candidate for Vice President.

Former prosecutors are suddenly “out.”

Every Democratic woman seems to be under consideration.

Especially for Joe Biden.

Looking back at my predictions about the 2020 Democratic race.

There’s very little upside.

The former VP is focused on beating Bernie Sanders but his team is looking ahead.

He’s repelling the people he needs to mount a comeback.

Nate Silver now gives Biden an 87% chance of winning the nomination outright.

Women didn’t vote for her either. But that doesn’t mean sexism didn’t play a role in her loss.

A quick follow-up.

The wagons have been circled.

Four highly-qualified (and two less-qualified) women ran and lost in 2020.

Not a great night for the former New York major. But he still has $54.5 billion to comfort him.

Evidence from the four early states is not looking promising.

96 percent of the delegates have yet to be awarded. How can the race be down to two?

The final delegate count may well be skewed.

The field winnows further.

Many people have voted for candidates who aren’t running anymore.

The Iowa winner and New Hampshire runner-up has acknowledged the inevitable.

The women, minority, and non-geriatric candidates have been all but eliminated from the race.

The 78-year-old is the Comeback Kid. And the only chance of preventing a Bernie Sanders nomination.

He’s campaigning in her home state and Amy Klobuchar’s, too. And may win both.

If the current polls are right, the race will be all but over in five days.

There’s no way to catch him in a six-candidate field.

We’re going to make history one way or another in November.

Competing in fourteen states plus overseas territories in one day is expensive.

It got somewhat ugly at the kids’ table.

Most national pundits saw it differently than I did.

The clear winner was Donald Trump.

The wrong people are choosing the Democratic Party’s presidential nominee.

Could the fevered dream really come true?

Two early frontrunners are being written off.

We now have five candidates in double-digits.

Iowa and New Hampshire voters are changing the perception of the race.

The precise distribution of 41 measly delegates is now known. Unless there’s a recount.

Is there a new frontrunner?

The Vermont Senator is a better politician than most give him credit for.

The media coverage continues on script.
