Hillary Clinton's Chances for Entering 2020 Race Just Went Up, Crypto Coins News

Hillary Clinton's Chances for Entering 2020 Race Just Went Up, Crypto Coins News


Senator Bernie Sanders(I-VT) suffered a heart attack at a campaign event Tuesday, his doctors and campaignhave confirmedto reporters. Sanders’ 2020 campaign for the Democratic party’s presidential nomination didn’t allow the media to interview his treating physicians until Friday.

The public knew earlier this week that Sanders had chest pains and stents put in for a blocked artery, but this is the first time we’ve learned that Bernie Sanders had a heart attack.

Physicians at the Desert Springs Hospital Medical Center in Las Vegas said the Vermont Senator had a “myocardial infarction.” That’s the term doctors use when a prolonged disruption of blood flow to the heart causes permanent tissue damage to the heart muscle.

Bernie Sanders’ 2020 Prospects Have Changed

Now that Democratic primary voters know the 78 – year-old candidate has had a heart attack, it could change the entire calculus of the 2020 nomination contest.

With all due sympathy for this tragic danger to Sen. Sanders’ health, and for his family who feared for their loved one’s life and the best wishes for his most complete possible recovery, we are duty-bound to ask what will happen next.

Bernie Sanders is a public figure who holds elected office. He had an enormous influence on the 2016 presidential election. As he makes another substantial and viable bid for the world’s most powerful elected office in 2020, his heart attack has ramifications of historical import.

On the face of it, having a heart attack while campaigning makes Sanders unelectable to many voters. That’s if he even decides to continue with his candidacy. Bernie 2020 says he’s still in the race.They’ve promisedSanders will be at the next Democratic Primary debate on Oct. 15.

But running the US executive branch will be as demanding and stressful as campaigning or more. And voters won’t feel comfortable with a president at high risk of having a heart attack shepherding the country through the next unforeseen crisis.

Hillary Clinton’s May Have Changed Too

If Bernie does step out of the race, or his supporters jump from his campaign to another, obvious winners include Elizabeth Warren and Andrew Yang.Both hauledimpressive fundraisingtotals in the third quarter. Both appeal to the same political cross-section of voters as the socialist Bernie Sanders. But the non-obvious winner could be Hillary Clinton.

A year ago,Clinton’s chief strategistfor her 2008 presidential bid wrote in The Wall Street Journal that she was planning to run again in 2020. This March,she deniedthat she’d be running again, but that’s what every presidential hopeful says – until they don’t.

This January, CNN’s Senior White House CorrespondentJeff Zeleny saidHillary Clinton was telling people in her close circle that she’s leaving the door open to run again in 2020.

She’s been increasingly more vocal in the media as theimpeachment push against Trumpramps up. And while Bernie was in the hospital, Hillarywent on abusy media tour, ostensibly to promote “Gutsy Women,” a new book she co-wrote with daughter, Chelsea Clinton.

With Joe Biden’sdevastatingly underwhelmingfundraising, Wall Street Democratswarning they’llback Trump if Elizabeth Warren gets the nomination, and now Bernie Sanders’ heart attack, the 2020 Democratic field looks weaker than ever. Hillary might not be able to resist another at-bat.
