Biden will barnstorm Iowa in his No Malarkey tour through Dec. 7 as the crowded 2020 primary field gets ready to blanket the state before the crucial Feb. 3 caucus.
You might have heard, were heading out on an eight-day, 18 county, 'No Malarkey' barnstorm across Iowa next week," Biden said in a fundraising email to supporters this week. "The plan is to meet as many caucus-goers as I can, and were going to cover a lot of ground to do it
My job is to let folks know just how I plan to get this country back on track so that our economy works for everyone, regardless of race, gender, sexual orientation, religious belief, disability, or zip code," he continued. "Restoring the backbone of this country the great American middle class will be my north star as president because Im confident that given a fair shot, theres nothing the American people cant do.
The tour comes as polling shows a tight race heading into the nations first nominating contest. Bidens once double-digit lead has evaporated as surveys now show a competitive top-tier among the former vice president, South Bend, Ind., Mayor Pete Buttigieg and Sens. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) and Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.).
Biden still leads the 2020 field in national primary polls, but observers speculate that a misstep in Iowa for any candidate could hinder any momentum moving deeper into the primary season.
The former vice president is banking on his strong infrastructure in the Hawkeye State, as well as support from local politicians, to help boost his appeal in the caucuses his campaign includes 26 offices and approximately 110 paid staffers on the ground, and he touts the support of 175 current and former Iowa elected officials, union leaders, teachers, veterans, community leaders and Democratic Party activists.
Biden won the crucial endorsement of former Gov. Tom Vilsack (D-Iowa) last week, boosting his support among the partys establishment.
As I thought about the candidate who has the ability to bring us together as one nation, the progressive but practical vision for progress at home, the experience and personal relationships to repair Americas image abroad, and the best chance at winning the states we have to win to govern I concluded that Joe Biden is the person for the job, Vilsack said in his endorsement.

(7,509 posts)But I'll assume Biden wins the nomination anyway, and I support him. Is Biden going to match Obama's numbers with black voters? Will Biden perform well against Trump in debates?
Be honest.

(2,897 posts)I think it's perfect branding tbh. Folksy and not widely used. Catchy and accessible. Makes you think of VP Biden as soon as you hear it. Fits on T-shirts/hats as well and requires no explanation.
