Analys: Sanders och Warren på kollisionskurs
Elizabeth Warren och Bernie Sanders riskerar att konkurrera ut varandra i Demokraternas primärval nästa år, skriver The Atlantics Edward-Isaac Dovere i en analys.
Sanders och Warren är ”ideologiskt allierade”, skriver Dovere. De är inte vänner, men de har en varmare relation än de flesta andra senatorer, enligt honom.
Sanders anhängare brukar framhålla att han fick 45 procents stöd i primärvalet 2016. Warrens supportrar menar dock att motståndet mot Hillary Clinton spelade större roll för stödet till Sanderskampanjen än vad den vill erkänna.

Primärvalet
Wikipedia (en)
The 2020 Democratic Party presidential primaries and caucuses will be a series of electoral contests organized by the Democratic Party to select the 4,051 delegates to the Democratic National Convention and determine the Democratic nominee for President of the United States in the 2020 U.S. presidential election. The elections will take place within all fifty U.S. states, the District of Columbia, and five U.S. territories. An extra 716 unpledged delegates (712 votes) or superdelegates, including party leaders and elected officials, will be appointed by the party leadership independently of the primaries' electoral process. The convention will also approve the party's platform and vice-presidential nominee.
Following the 2016 presidential elections, significant changes were proposed that would change the number and role of superdelegates in the nomination process. Changes were enacted on August 25, 2018, which would only allow them to vote on the first ballot at a convention if it were uncontested.
