As for the candidates in that middle tier, like amy klobuchar, beto orourke and Pete Buttigieg, theyre also looking for a muchneeded boost. Thesemoderate candidates are trying to distinguish themselves from their progressive rivals on issues Like Health Care and education, but theyre also trying to make the case they can can best appeal to those voters in the key swing states.
