John Nichols in The Nation: In the 3 most recent national polls posted by Real Clear Politics, Williamson is at 12 percent (NBC News), 13 percent (Fox News) and 12 percent (Quinnipiac). Joe Biden is still far ahead in the race for his party’s nomination. But Williamson has been experiencing her own surge. But the political reporters who are falling over themselves to write about Nikki Haley seem to have shown little or no interest in Williamson—despite the fact that, over the past several weeks, she’s every bit as strong as Haley—and, in some cases, better. Williamson has distinguished herself from Biden by embracing progressive economic and foreign-policy positions that appeal to many grassroots Democrats. She supports a single-payer “Medicare for All” health care system and an ambitious Economic Bill of Rights; and she’s an ardent advocate for bold responses to the climate crisis.
