Houston Chronicle snubs Biden for lack of 'fresh vision' and endorses Klobuchar instead - www.washingtonexaminer.com

Excerpts from article:

...The outlet added, "In the current field only Klobuchar and Joe Biden have a track record of bipartisan effectiveness in Washington. Biden, in his third bid for president, hasn't articulated the fresh vision needed."

..."We remain puzzled at why Biden is not a more effective salesperson for his own policies. A close read of his policy papers makes it abundantly evident there is a genuine vision for a good and prosperous America there. Biden just struggles to express it to voters," that newspaper's editorial board wrote.

...While Biden has pinned his White House ambitions on Nevada, South Carolina, and Super Tuesday, when more diverse members of the electorate will weigh in on the primary, critics have expressed skepticism over whether Klobuchar's Midwestern appeal will translate outside of Iowa and New Hampshire, where she exceeded expectations by finishing fifth and third, respectively.

...In Nevada, Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders leads the pack with an average of 21.5% support, compared to second-placed Biden with 18.5%. Klobuchar trails by a distance with 7%, behind Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren, Democratic megadonor Tom Steyer, and former South Bend, Indiana, Mayor Pete Buttigieg, in that order.

...In Texas, Biden's the front-runner with an average of 28% support, in contrast to Klobuchar's 3.3%. Klobuchar is edged out in the state by Sanders, Warren, and Buttigieg, as well as billionaire former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg.
