(145,231 posts)245. The Democrats Trump Fears Most
trump is worried about three possible Democratic nominees https://politicalwire.com/2019/03/24/the-democrats-trump-fears-most/
President Trump has publicly boasted that he could beat any of his 2020 Democratic challengers. But privately, several members of the Trump campaign see a few who could pose a threat to his re-election, and are in the early stages of building out their strategy for attack, Axios reports.
The three candidates that seem to concern the Trump campaign most are Joe Biden, Kamala Harris and Beto ORourke. Thats in no particular order, and youll get a different answer depending on who you talk to.
