DES MOINES, Iowa - Scores of volunteers from across the United States descended on icy Iowa ahead of Monday’s Democratic caucus with one goal: nominating a candidate who can defeat Republican President Donald Trump in November.
Maryland native Dylan Newberry, 27, moved to Iowa in early January to volunteer for U.S. Senator Cory Booker. He then extended his stay and switched his support to former South Bend, Indiana, mayor Pete Buttigieg after Booker dropped out. The Sanders campaign, which has seen a recent surge in support in Iowa, said volunteers from all over the country knocked on 130,000 doors during the last weekend of January alone. The campaigns declined to give exact numbers of volunteers working in the state.
Opinion polls show Sanders and Biden in a dead heat, with Buttigieg and U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren close behind. U.S. Senator Amy Klobuchar is fifth, the only other candidate within striking distance of the leaders.
