The Guardian: “It’s a crisp fall weekend and more than a half-dozen prominent Democrats are in states that hold early primaries. Former vice-president Joe Biden is in Nevada. Two senators, Cory Booker and Kamala Harris, are in South Carolina. The former Virginia governor Terry McAuliffe is in New Hampshire and Colorado governor John Hickenlooper is in Iowa.
It is October 2018. The 2020 presidential campaign is on.”“With the exception of Maryland congressman John Delaney, no one has announced their candidacy. Those traveling to states with early primaries insist they are there to aid down-ballot candidates in the midterm elections. They are not campaigning. At least, not openly.”
