President Trump predicted Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., or former Vice President Joe Biden would become the Democratic presidential candidate he would run against in the 2020 election.
“I believe it will be Crazy Bernie Sanders vs. Sleepy Joe Biden as the two finalists to run against maybe the best Economy in the history of our Country (and MANY other great things)! I look forward to facing whoever it may be. May God Rest Their Soul!”
In response, Sanders warned that Trump “should be” scared of his campaign.
“Looks like President Trump is scared of our campaign,” Sanders tweeted. “He should be.”
Polling data consistently indicates that Biden and Sanders are the front-runners in the crowded Democratic primary, which boasts nearly 20 candidates, even though Biden has not announced he will run in the primary race.
According to an Emerson poll released Monday, Sanders attracted 29% support from registered voters while Biden attracted 24% support. The poll was conducted from April 11-14 with a sample size of 356.
Meanwhile, a Morning Consult survey released Tuesday showed that Biden has 31% support among registered Democrats, while Sanders has 23% support. The poll surveyed more than 12,000 registered Democrats and was conducted from April 8-14.
