Despite being written off by Democratic Party insiders and purportedly ignored by mainstream media outlets, Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders is now reportedly drawing attention from Democratic officials, political operatives, and pundits, Politico reports.
David Brock, a longtime Hillary Clinton ally, noted that Sanders — who has overtaken Elizabeth Warren for second place in polling averages — represents one side of the “ideological divide” in the Democratic Party, with front-runner Joe Biden on the other side.
“A lot of smart people I’ve talked to lately think there’s a very good chance those two end up being Biden and Sanders,” Brock said. “They’ve both proven to be very resilient.”
