Poll results are relatively steady, but on the ground in Iowa, the first state that will cast votes next year, the Democratic 2020 presidential race still feels wide open.
Des Moines, Iowa Joe Biden arrived in Iowa on Wednesday to deliver a major speech condemning President Donald Trump's racism and -- in an effort to prove his strength as a general election candidate -- promising that"we can't, and I will not, let this man be reelected."
But soon after that high point, a series of verbal stumbles began for the former vice president. He referred to"white kids" when he meant"wealthy kids" and confused former British Prime Minister Theresa May with Margaret Thatcher on Thursday. Then, on Saturday, he twice claimed to have met with students who survived the Parkland school shooting as vice president, even though that shooting happened more than a year after Biden left office.
