On the same day the Iowa poll was released, news broke that Sanders had won the endorsement of Stacey Walker, a rising political star in Iowa who boasts an impressive organizing apparatus, according to Politico.

Walker told Politico he backed Sanders because he believes the nation needs a “bold leader,” and “as a black man living in America, I’ve had enough of politicians telling me we have to scale back our dreams and ambitions.”

Sanders has deployed a national strategy. While the Sanders campaign has invested in early primary states, he has also spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on staff and consulting in the Rust Belt as well as states that have historically voted Republican. Last week he received political endorsements in Illinois, Indiana, Missouri and Ohio.

“Bernie Sanders wants to telegraph that he is prepared for the mantle of leadership, in terms of being the head of the Democratic Party, that he is prepared to expand the reach of the party into every state,” Weaver said. “We are no longer going to concede a large number of states to the Republicans.”
