He said in the last couple of presidential elections, Democrats were able to run against the Republican of their choice, leading to two victories for President Barack Obama. However, among those who had caucused before, 52 percent support Clinton and 41 percent support Sanders. Is the Clinton campaign nervous? “I think it’s time and very important for everyone to understand what those differences are”.
Clinton has struggled to match the passion generated by Sanders, who has drawn massive crowds to rallies and has amassed millions of dollars from small donors.
With less than three weeks away from the Iowa caucuses, the room at University of Dubuque was packed with supporters as Hillary Clinton campaigned in this tight race against Bernie Sanders.
This is a significant drop for Clinton as last month she was up by 11 per cent.
“I didn’t know when I became a mom, that one of the great gifts I would receive would be watching my parents as grandparents”, she said, describing how her parents enjoy singing “Wheels on the Bus” with granddaughter Charlotte, who was born in September 2014. “It’s relatively new for Hillary to talk about that”.
Biden was heavily courted by some Democrats to seek the presidential nomination but declined, citing family obligations after his son Beau Biden died of cancer past year.
The reason behind the focus on Sanders is two-fold: The Iowa caucuses are less than a month a way and many voters in the audience said they were attending the event to make up their mind, a fact Clinton acknowledged from the stage. She cited a different Public Policy Polling survey released on Tuesday that showed her leading in the Hawkeye State.
When faced with votes on the Brady Bill in the House, “Bernie Sanders actually voted against it”, Gross said. Bernie Sanders and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton debate during the first official Democratic candidates debate of the 2016 presidential campaign in Las Vegas, Oct. 13, 2015. It’s exactly what the candidate wants to hear with February 1st around the corner. The online ad will include a petition to support Obama and Clinton’s call for gun reform.

“My plan is kind of simple: we go after the wealthy to pay for what the middle-class working people and poor people need,”Clinton said at a campaign stop in Ames, Iowa on Tuesday”.
