Byron York on New Hampshire primary: There's a 'dead man walking' feel to Biden's events
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}While the New Hampshire primary is underway, Washington Examiner columnist Byron York on Tuesday pointed out the stark atmospheric differences between President Trump's rallies and the 2020 Democratic presidential hopefuls' smaller events.
“There is kind of a dead man walking feel to some of [Biden’s] rallies. There’s just no doubt about that,” York told “America’s Newsroom.”

“There’s a real difference in scale between any of these Democrats and President Trump right now,” York said.
Trump said he was looking to get under Democrats' skin Monday with a rally in New Hampshire on the eve of the state's first-in-the-nation primaries, and he wasted little time — quickly reliving his dramatic State of the Union speech with a thinly veiled shot at House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif.

Pelosi, who ripped up Trump's State of the Union address as soon as it concluded, was widely criticized, especially after videos emerged showing she had visibly torn some of the pages in advance.
At the rally, Trump remarked to applause, "We have more in this arena and outside this arena than all of the other candidates, meaning the Democrats, put together and multiplied by five. ... We have never had an empty seat from the day your future first lady and I came down the escalator."

“He’s working at organizing the state to win it before Democrats get their act together,” York said.
