Biden plots an early kill

Joe Biden is trying to snuff out his Democratic competitors before the race really gets going.

Why it matters: By all accounts, Biden's strategy is working — even though his campaign isn't even a month old. And others are noticing and feeling threatened.

He's running like it’s a general election, cresting the aura of inevitability and readiness to stare down Trump.
He's effectively dancing around topics like the Green New Deal, which could be a killer in the general election, and instead telling voters about the climate proposal he'll unveil as early as the end of this month.
He's promised to never attack a fellow Democrat. As the frontrunner, he's the one who benefits from a primary with minimal infighting.
Early momentum begets money, so his campaign is racing to vacuum up front-runner coin.
