Kamala Harris nabs the endorsement of the Iowa Democratic Party’s Women’s Caucus chair, who says “she's tough, she's got heart,” and believes she can beat Trump. https://t.co/saEbBLybGy — PolitiTweet.org

Kamala Harris is asked what she would do to defeat white supremacy & she says she’d have a DOJ that would take consent decrees seriously; DOJ would research issues & “we cannot afford to have a president who stokes division.” — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandra Jaffe @ajjaffe

Kamala Harris emphasizes unity & pushes back on advice to tailor msg to diff audiences: “Let’s not buy the stuff they’re trying to sell - that you gotta talk a certain way when you’re with people in the Midwest and the South.” — PolitiTweet.org

Harris takes the stage at U of Iowa, with a standing-room-only crowd gathered to hear her speak https://t.co/JhXQJ1cK6E — PolitiTweet.org

As folks file in for Harris’ town hall at U of I, Check the Rhime by A Tribe Called Quest is bumping. Think this is a campaign trail first for me but I’m not opposed. https://t.co/NHO20LfMMP — PolitiTweet.org

With Devin Nunes ratcheting up his offensive on the Fresno Bee, reupping my @vicenews piece on the effect his attacks on the paper have had. In the conservative area, voters question the news now more than ever: https://t.co/7MUB64y5tZ — PolitiTweet.org

One reason caucusing's not a given for Iowa's young voters? “I’m looking for a job right now. I’m, like, a dumb 21-year-old who worries about girls and schoolwork. I don’t know, it feels extra at times.” https://t.co/DzX31KousM — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandra Jaffe @ajjaffe

Democrats are making a big effort to win over & organize young voters already in Iowa, but they made up a relatively small portion of the electorate in 2018. Still, they could have a big impact on a close race: https://t.co/DzX31KousM — PolitiTweet.org

"Trump campaigned on economic terms as faux Bernie Sanders,” said Faiz Shakir, Sanders’ campaign manager. “And now how do you defeat faux Bernie Sanders? You defeat him with real Bernie Sanders.” Via @jmsummers & @jpaceDC https://t.co/ixuvdwcAO8 — PolitiTweet.org

Sanders again asked the crowd why he focuses on "us," and a 10-year-old girl answered, saying it would be "better for everyone" if people work together. Sanders was delightedly incredulous at her articulate answer, and replied "I see a future president!" — PolitiTweet.org

Sanders follows this up with a joke: “We were a little bit nervous about coming back to Iowa...where he gets these… https://t.co/OdPcO0oGUE — PolitiTweet.org

Sanders speaks to audience in Malcom, Iowa, a tiny town of 269 people. Campaign says crowd is 230—they had to add more seats, and there are folks standing in the back. https://t.co/8zjnrk7aF8 — PolitiTweet.org

In Oskaloosa, Sanders spoke for about 50m, took questions for about 20m (one of which was a statement of frustration with Trump), and is on to the next one. — PolitiTweet.org

Sanders: "The Koch brothers are one of the wealthiest families in America. They spend hundreds of millions of dollars on elections, that is their agenda—and democrats too, I don't want to whitewash the democrats, they’re also culpable." — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandra Jaffe @ajjaffe

Worth noting I'm not sure when Sanders did his last press gaggle—none this weekend in Iowa (there's always a chance, but his staff has said they don't expect it.) https://t.co/FGe5ZDE2ZD — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandra Jaffe @ajjaffe

Sanders is asked about Trump calling the press the enemy of the people. "I have disagreements with the media everyday about how they cover these things, but to suggest that a free press is the enemy of the people is disgraceful and dangerous." — PolitiTweet.org

Brief Booker interlude: Via @HunterMw, Booker sounded upbeat in NH about his $5M raised. "Money is important, but it is definitely not going to be the barometer w/which people make their [presidential] decisions...I'm happy that we have the resources we need to be in this race." — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandra Jaffe @ajjaffe

Sanders has added a participatory portion to his speech. Asks the crowd why he emphasizes "us," says it's not because it's a good slogan, and actually gets a woman from the crowd to answer. She stands up and says “Once we elect Bernie — he still needs all of us to do our part." — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandra Jaffe @ajjaffe

Bernie Sanders praises the Dem presidential field: "These are good people, honest people. They are my friends and you are not gonna hear me disparage them today or anytime in the future. We are going to have a debate over ideas." — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandra Jaffe @ajjaffe

Sanders knocks Trump for his comments on windmills causing cancer: "The other day the prez came up with a remarkable scientific conclusion in determining that wind turbines—of which you have more than a few here—cause cancer. Fortunately he’s the only person that believes that." — PolitiTweet.org

Alexandra Jaffe @ajjaffe

Sanders opens rmx with message to Trump about resolution to force US withdrawal from Yemen, which passed both chambers. "I urge the president do not veto this resolution, sign this resolution. Let's get our troops out of Yemen. Instead of bombs, let's provide humanitarian aid." — PolitiTweet.org

Nina Turner opens the event by telling crowd to raise their hands & repeats policy priorities they’ll achieve “with these hands,” and closes: “With these hands, we will elect Sen. Bernie Sanders as the next president” https://t.co/m2ddllWOPR — PolitiTweet.org
