'He understands the dynamics of this party and the group of people who will ultimately get you to the nomination,' one Democratic strategist told Newsweek.
The hundreds of millions of dollars billionaire Tom Steyer invested in the Democratic primary for president may be finally starting to pay off.
"Any self-funding candidate will be able to stay in the race for as long as he wishes—until the money runs out or until that candidate decides to throw in the towel," Hillsman toldSteyer doesn't appear to be throwing in the towel anytime soon. He spent more than $50 million in January and is entering February with a larger war chest than most candidates. He also just hired Jeff Berman, an instrumental force in engineering Barack Obama's 2008 victory, to join his campaign.
He echoed that sentiment during an interview with Fox News on Sunday, telling host Chris Wallace that his message is different than those of other 2020 campaigns because he's"very willing to talk about race." "I definitely think not only has he prioritized the state, but they've made the investment to back that up and that means something," Seawright said of the Steyer campaign."He understands the dynamics of this party and the group of people who will ultimately get you to the nomination."
But if he doesn't meet expectations in South Carolina, strategists say it will be difficult to prove his viability to voters moving forward.
