Grand Forks Herald • 1 hour ago

The state of the 2020 Democratic presidential primary - Vox
vox-mark • cached • stripped • 1 hour ago
With fewer than 75 days until the Iowa caucuses, the Democratic presidential primary is very much in flux. All this means that Biden does not necessarily need to be alarmed by Buttigieg's rise in Iowa, Iowa Ipsos vice president and polling expert Clifford Young told Vox, and that - at least for now - it is difficult to predict how a Buttigieg win in that state (which remains, despite his polling there, one possible outcome of many) would affect races in New Hampshire or South Carolina. That group has expanded to include South Bend, Indiana, Mayor Pete Buttigieg - at least in an early state or two.
