Biden struggles to find path as Buttigieg, Bloomberg rise

Allies and aides to Joe Biden say they're beginning to wonder if the former vice president has a path to winning the Democratic presidential nomination.

One day before the New Hampshire primary, where some pollsters have predicted that Biden could come in fifth place, the Biden World allies are expressing disappointment in his standing in the Granite State.

Some have also begun to call into question his chances of winning the Nevada caucuses later this month and even his hopes for victory in his so-called firewall state of South Carolina.

Former South Bend, Ind., Mayor Pete Buttigieg’s surge in the polls after his success in Iowa and former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s rising campaign have added to the gloom surrounding Biden.

“It feels like a funeral,” said one ally who is in regular contact with the campaign.

Nevada is very racially diverse, it's only 67% white and has a 9% African American population, Latino and Asian people make up the remaining 24%.

If Biden cannot win in Nevada, that is a very bad sign for his campaign.

there is little enthusiasm for Joe around here, but Bernie and Mayor Pete are on the move. I know this is anecdotal but this is what I am observing.
