2020 Democrats look to retool campaigns as Biden lead widens
Democratic presidential candidates chasing former Vice President Joe Biden in the polls are shifting gears as they seek to gain momentum heading into the first debate next month.
Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.) is trying to engage President Trump in direct confrontations to command part of the news cycle and move up, while former Rep. Beto O’Rourke (D-Texas), whose campaign has struggled, is doing more media appearances.
Meanwhile, South Bend, Ind., Mayor Pete Buttigieg (D) is aiming to win over African American voters to broaden his support.
