It’s almost as if we’re seeing an entirely different side of Klobuchar. She’s more willing to go on the offensive and call out her Democratic opponents, whereas before, she hesitated to engage in direct attacks. Klobuchar seemed timid before Iowa. Now, she seems confident. “We feel the surge,” she said this week, noting she’s visited New Hampshire more than 23 times since she announced her candidacy last year. “For me, it’s been a long time coming.”
Klobuchar’s newfound self-assurance could have something to do with Biden’s collapse. The former vice president had a disastrous showing in Iowa, and he’s lagging in New Hampshire’s polls, too. The Biden team’s hopes now depend on South Carolina, but even that won’t be enough to revitalize his drowning campaign.
As Biden sinks and Warren founders, it makes sense that Democratic voters are now turning to a female centrist who has branded herself as the bridge between the Democratic Party and the centrists and independents dissatisfied with the Trump administration.
