"Uncle Joe" ou "Creepy Joe": les manies de Biden peuvent-elles couler sa candidature?
Pour Biden, trainer ce boulet pourrait également à faire ressortir de son passé des positions plus controversé sur l'avortement et le droit des femmes à disposer de leur corps. "This affectionate and sometimes intimate physical style is one of the former
vice president’s trademarks, a defining feature of the warm and upbeat persona he has built during more than four decades in the national spotlight. But the appropriateness of Biden’s physical behavior toward women is now being questioned, after a female Democratic politician penned a viral Internet piece describing an alleged 2014 encounter that left her offended and uncomfortable.
As Biden prepares to announce whether he will run for president in 2020, the episode has raised questions about whether the older, self-described “fingertip politician” is well-suited for the White House in the wake of the #MeToo movement and at a moment of rapidly shifting social norms. Biden, an outspoken critic of domestic violence who led efforts to pass the Violence Against Women Act in 1994, has also faced sharp criticism from women over his handling of the Anita Hill hearings in 1991 and his subsequent comments about the topic."

"Mayor Pete" peut-il hausser son jeu d'un cran?
"The challenge for Buttigieg goes beyond teaching America how to pronounce his last name. Local operatives said the 37-year-old lags behind the rest of the sprawling pack of 2020 candidates in building infrastructure in Iowa, New Hampshire, Nevada and South Carolina — a problem Buttigieg’s campaign is racing to correct as money starts rolling in.
More like gushing in: The campaign announced Monday it raised more than $7 million in the first three months of the year, a staggering figure for a small-city mayor who was virtually unknown nationally starting the race. "We (you) are out-performing expectations at every turn," Buttigieg tweeted."
