Democratic presidential hopefuls Pete Buttigieg and Kamala Harris return to the ...
WASHINGTON - Democratic presidential hopefuls Pete Buttigieg and Kamala Harris return to the crucial state of Iowa this weekend with pressure mounting on them to break into the top tier of 2020 election contenders.
Iowa plays an outsized role in picking presidential nominees, holding first-in-the-nation caucuses in February. With just a little over four months to go, the Buttigieg and Harris campaigns say they are making a renewed push there, hiring dozens of staff and opening new offices. They will be among a bevy of contenders appearing at the traditional Steak Fry in Des Moines on Saturday. Twenty Democrats are running for the nomination and the chance to take on Republican President Donald Trump in the 2020 election.
But her campaign insists it is not neglecting Iowa. After a swing this weekend, Harris plans to make stops once a week in the state in October, her campaign manager, Juan Rodriguez, said in a memo posted to the online site Medium on Thursday. Both have tried to position themselves as the alternative to voters nervous about front-runner Biden’s age or his sometimes uneven track record, or those concerned about Warren and Sanders, progressives who advocate for sweeping structural changes in the United States.
By end of this week, he will have opened 20 offices in Iowa in the past three weeks and built a staff of 100 in the state, his campaign said.
