Maybe it was the exhaustion of long days at the impeachment trial, but Amy Klobuchar minced no words as she made her final appeals to Iowa’s citizens: via ABC17News
A sleep-starved Klobuchar, after spending most of her week in Washington, arrived in Iowa on Saturday afternoon and wasted no time, talking with voters who she hopes will help her overperform in Iowa.
The senator has tried to stay relevant by becoming a fixture on both local and cable television during the impeachment trial, often running off the Senate floor and directly to a camera. The senator has also held one tele-town hall, with Klobuchar pushing her message to Iowans who may still be considering her.
Klobuchar’s advisers and supporters say the senator needs to surpass expectations on caucus night and most top Iowa Democrats take that to mean breaking into the top four. The senator has pledged she will take her campaign to New Hampshire no matter what, as she has already qualified for the next debate in the state, but operatives and analysts note that recovering from a disappointing finish in Iowa, a state that is notably similar to the senator’s home, could be ruinous.
The senator’s message to Iowans this weekend was far more focused on Trump than other Democrats. The senator excoriated the President for everything from getting millions from his father to start his business empire to being, in her view, a whiner. Klobuchar’s steady growth in Iowa has come, according to Democratic operatives across the state, from growing support along among caucusgoers from along Iowa’s border with Minnesota, especially rural communities that mirror many of the same places the senator represents in the neighboring state.
