Sky News host Annelise Nielsen says “the Iowa caucuses are critical” for Democratic candidates even though “we are so far out” from the presidential elections. Ms Nielsen has spent time in Cedar Rapids, Iowa on Senator Elizabeth Warren’s campaign and in Indiana with individuals close to other Democratic candidate Pete Buttigieg. “The saying goes there are three tickets out of Iowa, and that means that there are three Democratic candidates that will take that lead”. “We’ve seen it in the past when Barack Obama came out of nowhere to be the frontrunner”. The Iowa caucuses begin on Monday 3 February. Image: AP
