There’s no Ready for Elizabeth super PAC. Nor is there a Prepping for Kamala, Begging for Booker or Salivating for Sanders. Unlike the run-up to the 2016 campaign, when the Ready for Hillary super PAC served to stoke Hillary Clinton’s entry into the Democratic presidential race, there are no candidate-specific PACs forming this time around to either lay the groundwork for a campaign or to create a sense of anticipation.
Is this a problem? That depends on which Democrat you ask.
Some Democrats are surprised and worry it could be a signal the party isn’t completely prepared to do what it takes to defeat President Trump in his reelection bid. Others say it’s just a manifestation of what many believe will be a much more wide-open race than was seen in 2016. It’s possible that dozens of candidates could enter the 2020 race on the Democratic side.
