Candidates' Last Month In Iowa By The Numbers

Iowa Starting Line

As a senator, Sanders was held up in Washington, D.C. for the impeachment trial. Still, he made the most of what time he had in Iowa. At the beginning of the year, he was in the state for four days in a row and held 10 events in that time.


Warren was in the same boat as Sanders with the impeachment trial, but she also managed to make a strong showing in Iowa, fitting 17 appearances in 10 days of travel. With her selfie lines and the guarantee every supporter will get a picture, her events tend to take longer, which probably explains her lower number of events. She hasn’t had a day where she held more than two public events.


Buttigieg returned to Iowa later than most of his competitors, with his first event on the 12th. But once here, he rarely left, sometimes packing four events into one day.


Biden started the new year in Iowa with 10 events in the first five days of January. In that time, he also focused on the eastern part of the state, holding nine of those ten events east of Des Moines.


Klobuchar is closing out with events in most of the urban centers in the state. This all comes after she completed her 99-county tour in December, which featured mostly rural counties.


If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden
