Instead, the launch of the 2020 presidential primary has left the party deeply unsettled and President Donald Trump gleeful about the chaos. Indeed, it’s far from the 2020 launchpad most Democrats envisioned as they eagerly anticipated their opportunity to take on Trump. “We’re capable of shooting ourselves in the foot,” warned Jim Hodges, an ex-South Carolina governor who supports former Vice President Joe Biden in the 2020 race. After a disappointing fourth place finish in Iowa, Biden said in Friday’s debate that he expects to take a hit in New Hampshire as well. New Hampshire Democratic officials are predicting a large turnout in Tuesday’s primary, which could also serve as a moment for an anxious party to hit the reset button after a ragged start to the election year.
