‘It could be a breakout moment for some candidate’: Democratic White House hopefuls look to woo voters at Iowa party dinner
DES MOINES, Iowa - A cavalcade of 14 Democratic White House hopefuls will make a campaign pitch to thousands of Iowa activists on Friday at a party fundraising dinner that has become known as a launching pad for successful presidential runs.
The dinner, which organizers say will attract the biggest crowd in its decades-long history, comes as U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren has moved to the top of some polls of the Democratic nominating race in Iowa, passing former Vice President Joe Biden. “It could be a breakout moment for some candidate - we have seen that over the years,” Iowa Democratic Party Chairman Troy Price said. “It sometimes can solidify someone’s place in the race, or propel them toward the top.”
This year, entrepreneur Andrew Yang plans a “Yangapalooza” concert and rally featuring Rivers Cuomo of the rock band Weezer, while Sanders will lead a “march to end corporate greed” to the event.
