After a brief Thanksgiving hiatus, former Vice President Joe Biden is hitting the road Saturday in Iowa in a big way, embarking on an eight-day, 18-county bus tour through the state as the 2020 presidential hopeful looks to gain momentum.
“A solid eight days in Iowa is a long time, and I think it illustrates the degree to which the Biden campaign is realizing that they really do want to put in a respectable showing in Iowa,” Rachel Paine Caufield, a professor at Drake University, and author of ‘The Iowa Caucus’ told ABC News.
“This tour is really about organization building first and foremost,” the aide added, downplaying that crowd turnout throughout Biden’s swing would be an indication of the success of the tour. “The key is, I think, that it has to be done well,” she continued, arguing that the campaign needed to thread the needle of authentic but organized interactions.The bus tour will include a mix of different event formats, including formal meet-and-greet stops that will allow Biden to mingle with voters, informal stops for lunch or ice cream along his route and even a potluck dinner in Waterloo.
But while the campaign has downplayed the importance of the state for overall victory, they haven’t shied away from investing time or money there.
