Tom Steyer is on the rise in South Carolina and Nevada
Tom Steyer’s surprise win in recent polls in South Carolina and Nevada gives new impetus to the debate in the Democratic Party over whether billionaire candidates can use lavish spending to improve their profile and gain a foothold in the debate. Steyer, who has never held a political position and is in the low single digits nationally, surprised many analysts when he recently finished second in a survey in South Carolina and rose significantly in Nevada. This follows months of air wave saturation in two states that have received less attention from most other candidates. His ability to turn his personal fortune into a place on stage while long-term elected officials like Sen. Cory Booker (DN.J.) failed to qualify is a cause of growing friction on the party, especially in times of uneven incomes is a hot topic among Democrats.
