Joe Biden Leads Democratic Race In Iowa, And He’s Not Even A Candidate Yet

Emily Zanotti

Former Vice President Joe Biden leads the way in the Democratic race in Iowa, even though he hasn’t officially joined the race for the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination.

The first official poll from the Des Moines Register, assessing candidates for the Iowa Caucus set to take place just a little under a year from now, shows Biden in the lead with 25%, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) is a close second with 25% of the vote, and the rest of the field far behind. Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) has around 9% of likely caucus-goers’ support, and Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA), a miserable 7%.
