Following the 2020 Election

One of the largest issues for presidential candidates today is fund raising. Just because you've raised a lot of funds doesn't mean you will do well, but what happens when you don't have enough? My opinion, the amount candidates fundraise should be capped and businesses should not be allowed to contribute in any way. Now, I understand you do need money to advertise to people and let people know who you are but do they really need hundreds of millions of dollars, no. Imagine a presidential race fully funded by people where everyone is on the same level (in terms of money). I think we would have candidates who are more interested in their supporters issues and follow through when and if they get into office. I'll get off my soap box now. Recently Joe Biden, who is being identified as the front runner, has been having some fund raising issues.  Now, why is the supposed front runner having so many issues filling the coffers? His staff says it is because they got

This week has been an explosive one on capital hill. The impeachment inquiry drags on, uncertainty in the marketplace continues, and a new poll from the DNC shows Joe Biden leading by a big margin. You can take a look at all the polling here:  http://cdn.cnn.com/cnn/2019/images/10/22/rel12b.-.2020.pdf "Thirty-four percent of Democratic and Democratic-leaning registered voters prefer Biden as the party’s pick to take on President Donald Trump in next year’s general election, according to a CNN poll conducted by SSRS and released Wednesday. Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren ranks second with 19 percent support, followed by Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders with 16 percent. Mayor Pete Buttigieg of South Bend, Indiana, and California Sen. Kamala Harris both achieved 6 percent in the poll, while Minnesota Sen. Amy Klobuchar and former Texas Rep. Beto O’Rourke raked in 3 percent of respondents." -  Quint Forgey | Politico

As the Democratic Race carries on I wanted to update everyone on current polling. Joe Biden has remained the front running in the election for September. Followed then by Elizabeth Warren, Bernie Sanders, and Kamala Harris. Pundits are saying that Biden could potentially lose his front runner position to Harris. Bernie was in the hospital for health-related issues this week and has suspended all campaign events until further notice, leaving people thinking if he can continue. The question then is where is his portion of the electorate going? Many pundits say Warren will get a majority. Meanwhile on the Republican side, President Trump is potentially going to have an impeachment inquiry brought up against him. A majority of Democrats are in favor of impeachment, now including Joe Biden. Trumps base is notoriously unshakable, and we will see if this remains true through impeachment inquiries (if they happen).
