Biden has started most of his stump speeches here recalling the death of his wife and young daughter. And it gets me every time. No matter how many times we’ve all heard that story, I just can’t imagine that kind of grief. — PolitiTweet.org

Biden knows what he’s doing bringing up his closeness with Obama, whose surprise caucus win here in 2008 catapulted his campaign — PolitiTweet.org

Here in Clinton, Biden again says he missed the state party dinner “to speak for 5 minutes” because his granddaughter and Obama’s daughter were graduating from high school. He says the two young women are good friends, and that the families hung out together on Sunday. — PolitiTweet.org

Caitlin Huey-Burns @CHueyBurns

I asked Biden if he is doing anything differently to prepare for the debates: “No...basically looking less about what the other people are for or against...and communicate to the American people what I believe.” https://t.co/QWdZY4tJzw — PolitiTweet.org

Caitlin Huey-Burns @CHueyBurns

Biden just did a little impromptu gaggle as he waited for breakfast. He said the DEBATES will be more of a “lightening round” and that “it’s an exaggeration to suggest there’s going to be any real depth about what we’re going to be able to get into.” — PolitiTweet.org

Biden just ordered “a short stack of hot cakes” https://t.co/MYkTmji7bF — PolitiTweet.org

Biden has made a stop at the Tasty Cafe here in Eldridge Iowa: https://t.co/l0i9eNfIbo — PolitiTweet.org

And both Biden and Trump seemed to bask in the glow of each other’s insults. — PolitiTweet.org

And the third camp, the converted: “he rose to the top, way above the rest, one voter told us, visibly moved after hearing him speak. "I could just cry for the fact he understands we need to bring dignity back to the office." — PolitiTweet.org

Caitlin Huey-Burns @CHueyBurns

And an example of the second camp: "He's probably the best chance we've got, but there's a lot of really good people...He's been around for a long time -- that's an advantage and a disadvantage." — PolitiTweet.org

Caitlin Huey-Burns @CHueyBurns

For example, one voter told us: "My problem with Joe, he's just an old pair of shoes to me. He's comfortable but I want youth.” Another: “I respect everything he's done. But I don't think that's what we need right now for our country." — PolitiTweet.org

Caitlin Huey-Burns @CHueyBurns

We also heard a range of views about Biden, best categorized into three groups: those who think he’s a thing of the past; those who think eh he’s fine but are interested in others; and those who, once they saw him in person, decided to commit. — PolitiTweet.org

Caitlin Huey-Burns @CHueyBurns

Biden and Trump fanned out across Iowa Tuesday, very much in general election mode. But our reporting found that Democratic voters here are still pretty far from making up their minds about a nominee. Dispatch from me, @adam_brew, @BoKnowsNews https://t.co/cCjI4Br54w — PolitiTweet.org

Caitlin Huey-Burns @CHueyBurns

Biden in Davenport cites Trump's "I alone can fix it" statement from 2016 then says: "Fix yourself, Donald Trump." — PolitiTweet.org

Caitlin Huey-Burns @CHueyBurns

Kamala Harris and Joe Biden both talk about the fundamental goodness of America in their stumps. Harris says we haven't yet reached those ideals. Biden says we haven't always lived up to them. — PolitiTweet.org

Caitlin Huey-Burns @CHueyBurns

And for the third time today, Biden is interrupted by the same protestor, shouting "what about the babies?" — PolitiTweet.org

Caitlin Huey-Burns @CHueyBurns

Folks, this Biden event tonight in Davenport compared to his earlier one today in Mount Pleasant is literally night and day. Literally. It's not a joke. — PolitiTweet.org

Caitlin Huey-Burns @CHueyBurns

Biden’s really well received by this crowd tonight, laughing at his riffs. — PolitiTweet.org

I asked Biden what he would say to voters calling for a fresh face or a new person. “Vote for a new person, then.” — PolitiTweet.org

“I guess he’s really fascinated with me,” Biden says of Trump. — PolitiTweet.org
