Kamala Harris vaulted up in polls after one commanding debate performance.
When asked if he had raised more or less than the $9.4 million he collected in the first quarter of the year, O’Rourke demurred.O’Rourke said his strategy to win Iowa remains unchanged: “To continue to hold the town hall meetings, to gain the commitments of caucus-goers, and to expand the electorate that will participate, which is something that we did in Texas.”
His advisers asked anyone who appeared interested if they would like to meet him. He spoke at length with ride operators and passers-by about immigration and health care. He posed for a photograph with an inebriated man who told him, “We agree on almost nothing” and with a man who said he was in his current “top four.”
