Iowa caucus rules might allow for more than one ‘winner’ by stableford & realchriswilson
Welcome to 2020 Vision, the Yahoo News column covering the presidential race. Reminder: There are 17 days until the Iowa caucuses and 291 days until the 2020 presidential election.
“This is a contest for delegates,” Iowa Democratic Party Chairman Troy Price told the Associated Press. “Campaigns will highlight whatever number is the most advantageous for them. But in the end, what matters is the delegates that come out of Iowa to the national convention, and [state delegates] will remain the best indicator of that.”
The trial, which resumes Tuesday, is expected to last beyond the Feb. 3 Iowa caucuses, which means there are just six open days left for the senators to campaign on the ground before the first contest of the 2020 presidential cycle. Bennet is holding a pair of “meet and greets” Monday — one at a coffeehouse in Grinnell and the other at a Muscatine brewery.
Billionaire watch 2020With the withdrawal of Sen. Cory Booker, there are now more billionaires — two — running for the Democratic nomination than there are black people. The lone remaining African-American, former Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick, has not made a dent in any polling after launching his campaign in November. But the two super-wealthy candidates, Tom Steyer and Michael Bloomberg, are following different paths in their attempts to secure the nomination.
On Wednesday, Bloomberg launched his Women for Mike campaign wing in New York, telling Yahoo News’ Kadia Tubman, “I got the right values to get them.” Bloomberg has a reputation for making crude comments about women over the years. At least 17 women sued his eponymous media company for allegedly permitting a sexist working environment.
