Kamala Harris' bus tour across Iowa tour could also dispel any lingering notion that she is not paying enough attention to the state.
John Fritze and Barbara RodriguezMOUNT PLEASANT, Ia. — Meredith Hinson picked a spot along the rope line in Iowa and waited for Kamala Harris.
As Harris finished a five-day bus tour across Iowa on Monday, these are the one-on-ones she’s encountered along the way that could help determine her outcome in the state’s first-in-the-nation caucuses on Feb. 3. “At least in Polk County, we haven’t seen as many visits from the Harris campaign yet,” said Sean Bagniewski, chairman of the Polk County Democrats, where Des Moines is located. “The bad news for her is that some might complain about that. The good news is that people really want to see her. It’s a good problem to have, but definitely something she needs to figure out.”
“There have been some other candidates who have come a little earlier, but she’s getting a good start now,” Fager said. By the time her bus pulled into her last rally in Davenport on Monday afternoon, Harris had traveled more than 650 miles, stopped formally in 11 counties and held 17 events. Harris said she’s enjoyed the trip, even though the days often included more than 12 hours of campaigning daily.
Harris said people will have different perspectives about her strategy. She said it’s challenging to do extensive, dayslong visits to places like Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina and Nevada because she still must do her job in the Senate. The chamber’s current recess gave her the window to make the five-day trip. Harris noted she hasn’t been home since the late-July debate.
