Iowa teens choose Andrew Yang as Dem presidential pick, followed by Bernie Sanders in straw poll

https://www.thegazette.com/subject/news/education/iowa-youth-straw-poll-andrew-yang-bernie-sanders-20200128

Many of the teenagers, most 16 or 17, said they remain uncommitted to one candidate, with some overwhelmed by the idea of choosing the nation’s top executive.

“Somebody asked me, so how do I know who to vote for?” student-teacher Conrad Nichols said. “That is a good question.”

At 4:30 p.m., the lead in the straw poll was businessman Andrew Yang, with 3,370 votes — with Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders close behind with more than 3,200 — for the Democratic nomination.

Among Rolwes’ morning classes, former South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg was out-front.

He's handsome, easy-going, funny, and is quick on his toes. He'd slaughter Trump with a massive youth turnout.
