Kamala Harris and Joe Biden are going full-throttle in the first-in-the-nation caucus state
for not taking Iowa seriously enough. And Kamala Harris so lacked a presence that Democrats here assumed she was skipping the first-in-the-nation caucus state altogether.As the Iowa State Fair and the Iowa Wing Ding — a marquee Democratic political dinner — get underway this week, both Biden and Harris have upended the landscape by significantly bulking up their field organizations, adding more frequent visits and in Harris’ case, even airing TV ads.
The burst of investment in Iowa from Harris and Biden is a reflection of renewed attention to a key question of early-state strategy: how many tickets will there be out of Iowa?Sign Up Now, however, Biden is in the midst of a four-day tour that follows on the heels of a separate tour by his wife, Jill, last week. He spoke at the Iowa State Fair Thursday, took questions from reporters afterwards and then strolled across the fairgrounds. Later that evening, the former vice president traveled to Des Moines’ South Side where he spoke and took questions from Asian and Latino leaders for more than two hours.
“We have so many people signing up online, to either volunteer or support Biden, the biggest challenge is the logistics of figuring out how to contact them — tens of thousands, literally,” said Jake Braun, Biden’s Iowa state director.
