What Did — And Didn’t — Go Down In The Iowa Caucuses

Erin Doherty just spotted Rep Katie Porter (CA-45), an Iowa native, caucusing for Warren. Warren endorsed Porter in her close 2018 primary, and then Porter flipped that seat from red to blue. Porter endorsed Warren in October.

Representatives from the campaigns are now being invited to the stage to make the case for their candidates. The first is a middle-aged woman arguing for Biden, saying that foreign leaders “already know him, and already trust him, and he can help put this world back together again.”

Thirty-six percent of caucusgoers made up their mind in the last few days (including 12 percent who decided today), while 63 percent made up their mind before that, according to preliminary entrance poll data. Most candidates don’t seem to have a big difference in support between these two groups, though Sanders seems to have an advantage among those who made up their mind earlier.
