In a matter of weeks, Bernie Sanders has skyrocketed by nearly 10 points nationally to unseat Joe Biden’s lead in the race for the Democratic nomination. His strong showing in New Hampshire and Iowa has bolstered the Vermont senator’s state polling, providing him a tangible path to the nomination.

Sanders is the front-runner and provided that the rest of the relative moderates in the race continue to engage in a circular firing squad, he will win the party’s nomination. If the week’s campaign drama has provided any preview, the rest of the 2020 hopefuls seem keen on making it happen.
