Bush lauded him as a “savior” for helping get Biden elected. The South Carolina Democrat is largely credited with giving Biden the endorsement he needed to shoot to the top of 2020′s large Democratic field and win his party's nomination. Clyburn, South Carolina’s only Democratic representative in Congress, is the dean of the state’s Democrats and the third-ranking member of the U.S. House. Clyburn said that his backing of Biden also came up Wednesday during conversations with former President Bill Clinton and Hillary Clinton, the party's 2016 nominee.

They're trying to figure out how to reach young voters when campuses are empty and students are scattered across the country. The two college students are on opposite ends of the political universe but facing the same challenge: reaching young voters when campuses are empty and students are scattered across the country. With campuses closing, college students are especially transient, causing confusion about whether they should register at their home or school address. The shift to mail voting raises other unexpected hurdles for young voters, including a lack of familiarity with the U.S. Voting by mail also has its challenges, with studies showing young voters are more likely than voters of other age groups to have their mail-in ballots rejected.

MODERATE VOTERSA majority of Democratic voters wanted to put a moderate with practical policy proposals in office over a liberal with bold ideas. ___OLDER VOTERSA solid 61% of primary voters were older than 45 -- a group that firmly supported Biden. Biden finished fourth in the Iowa caucuses on Feb. 3 and fifth in the New Hampshire primary about a week later. Before South Carolina, no candidate had earned more than one-third of this group. ___ALL BEFORE CORONAVIRUS AND GEORGE FLOYD'S DEATHThroughout the primaries, Democratic voters said health care was the most important problem facing the nation.

DES MOINES, Iowa Four relatively unknown Iowa Democrats are competing in a primary Tuesday to take on Republican Sen. Joni Ernst, an endeavor viewed as a long shot when better-known prospects last year took a pass on running. But as Democrats are increasingly bullish about their prospects in places such as Arizona and Colorado, the Iowa race is getting renewed attention as a potential battleground that could help the party regain the Senate majority. Greenfield's fundraising prowess reflects a broad array of support among Iowa Democrats. As of a week ago, nearly 500,000 Iowa voters, about one-quarter of the states electorate, had requested absentee ballots, the highest number of absentee ballot requests for any Iowa election, primary or general. The influx of primary-voting Democrats, including those who have been less active in recent cycles, could signal a resurgence of Iowa Democrats.

The victory, while encouraging for Sanders supporters, only deepens concern among establishment-minded Democratic leaders who fear that the self-described democratic socialist is too extreme to defeat Trump. In a show of confidence, Sanders left Nevada early to rally supporters in Texas, which offers one of the biggest delegate troves in just 10 days on Super Tuesday. The developer the Nevada Democrats had planned to use had its mobile app fail spectacularly in Iowa. Nearly three weeks later, Iowa Democratic officials have yet to post final results. In addition, it appeared Nevada Democrats were able to successfully navigate a complicated process for adding early voting to the caucus process.

Thats nice of Tom to pick up the drinks, said Terry Temple, a 73-year-old independent who said she doesnt hold Steyers wealth against him. In an AP interview, Steyer said hes prepared to spend more than the $100 million he initially pledged toward his presidential ambitions if necessary. Thats America, right?Still, four months after entering the race, hes struggling to break out. But in Bluffton, Steyers wealth was viewed as a political asset. She was also pleasantly surprised to learn that Steyers campaign was offering goodies at the event.

Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., speaks with supporters after filing to have her name listed on the New Hampshire primary ballot, Wednesday, Nov. 13, 2019, in Concord, N.H. (AP Photo/Charles Krupa)Elizabeth Warren has once again scorned big moneys influence in politics as she signed up for New Hampshire's presidential primary. The Massachusetts senator said Wednesday, "We really shouldn't have elections that are about billionaires calling all the shots, whether they're reaching in their pockets to fund their own elections or whether they're counting on getting other people to run.Warrens comments came as billionaire Michael Bloomberg considers making a late run for the Democratic presidential nomination. Billionaire businessman Tom Steyer is also competing with Warren in the primary. Warren is among the last of the 2020 Democrats to file for the New Hampshire primary.

DES MOINES, IA A top Iowa aide to businessman Tom Steyer has resigned a day after The Associated Press revealed he had privately offered campaign contributions to local politicians in exchange for endorsing Steyer's White House bid. Steyer's Democratic presidential campaign announced Patrick Murphy's resignation in a statement late Friday. In a statement Thursday, the former Iowa House speaker apologized for but did not deny the interactions and said the concerns expressed by his former colleagues about his overtures were the result of a "miscommunication." He didn't immediately respond to messages from the AP seeking comment Friday. Murphy's departure leaves Steyer without an Iowa political director with less than three months until the state's lead-off caucuses.

Whether he'll have enough money to sustain a lengthy and bruising campaign is not one of them. The billionaire former New York City mayor opened the door this week to a potential Democratic White House bid, prompting an avalanche of criticism from would-be rivals who say he wants to use his vast wealth to buy the presidency. Progressives who believe the wealthy have outsized influence in politics have pushed Democratic White House hopefuls to reject big money in politics and they've had considerable success. Four years later, he invested even more, outspending his rivals by at least 10-to-1 after plunging $108 million into his race. But his defenders insist that his finances and background on Wall Street don't mitigate his support of progressive causes like gun control and climate change.

DES MOINES, IA A top aide to Tom Steyer in Iowa has privately offered local politicians campaign contributions in exchange for endorsing his White House bid. Multiple people with direct knowledge of the conversations told The Associated Press that the overtures came from Pat Murphy, Steyer's Iowa director. There's no evidence any candidates in Iowa accepted the offer or received contributions for an endorsement. Alberto Lammers, Steyer's campaign press secretary, says Murphy was not authorized to make the offers and that the campaign leadership outside of Iowa was unaware that he was doing so until the issue was raised by The Associated Press. The proposals could revive criticism that the billionaire Steyer is trying to buy his way into the White House.
