Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren is turning heads in the early voting state with the size of her operation — and crowds
LAS VEGAS — Kamala Harris hired a dream team of operatives. Joe Biden has solid establishment support. Bernie Sanders heads a volunteer army. And Julián Castro is seen as a “sleeper.”
Paradoxically, the front-runner in the early polls of Democrats in Nevada and the nation — Biden — isn’t singled out for having a top campaign, in part because he started so late relative to the others. But the former vice president has less ground to make up because of his high name recognition, positive brand with Democrats and deep connections to politicians in the state.
There’s scant polling in Nevada in part because it has a caucus, which is far more difficult to poll, especially this far out. Also, Nevada this year has a virtual caucus and an early vote component for the first time, which make turnout projections so difficult that state Democratic Party officials won’t hazard a guess as to what the composition of the electorate will look like.
In all, 19 candidates visited Nevada last weekend for an American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees conference, around which many built two full days of outreach events that extended into rural areas.in Henderson over the weekend. Biden drew a crowd of 200 on Saturday at the Sun City MacDonald Ranch senior community center. The night before, across town at the Green Valley High School gym, Warren packed in 750 at a town hall.
With eight visits, New Jersey Sen. Cory Booker is right behind Castro in the number of campaign stops, tied with Harris. But like Castro, Booker is failing to gain traction in the eyes of insiders or polls. Booker has personal roots in Nevada, reminding reporters at the AFSCME conference that his mother lives in Las Vegas.
Harris has also intensified her African American outreach, holding events last weekend at a Baptist Church and a at community center in North Las Vegas, a city with a large black population.
