NYT’s Jeremy Peters: Dem Voters Are Focused on ‘Denying Donald Trump a Second Term’

‘They don’t believe Bernie Sanders is the one who’s capable of delivering on that’

EXCERPT:

PETERS: "Andrea, I really think it comes down to the fact that Democratic voters are petrified of the possibility that Donald Trump could be re-elected. This really, unlike anything I have seen in the presidential campaigns that I have covered, has jolted them into almost this strategic sense they have about their voting. They are no longer interested in these theoretical discussions about what type of party the Democratic Party should be, how progressive it should be, what ideologically it should stand for. They’re focused on one thing, and that’s denying Donald Trump a second term. They don’t believe Bernie Sanders is the one who’s capable of delivering on that. So, if they’re not that excited about voting to be Joe Biden, they’re going to still do so.”
