WASHINGTON—Former President Barack Obama’s fears about a “circular firing squad” forming among the 18 candidates now seeking the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination highlights a growing worry in some corners of the party.
“One of the things I do worry about sometimes among progressives in the United States, maybe it’s true here as well, is a certain kind of rigidity where we say, ‘Ah, I’m sorry, this is how it’s gonna be,’” Obama told a Berlin audience attending an event hosted by his presidential foundation on April 6.
