Sanders Asks Supporters to Keep Campaign Going

“Sen. Bernie Sanders made a plea Monday to his supporters in Des Moines: It’ll be up to them to carry his Iowa campaign across the finish line,” the Des Moines Register reports.

“The Senate impeachment trial of President Trump means he won’t be spending as much time in Iowa as he would have liked, he said at a Des Moines rally. But, he joked, it just means his campaign slogan — ‘Not me. Us.’ — will need to be a little more literal in the homestretch of the first-in-the-nation nominating caucus.”

Said Sanders: “Ironically, the ‘us, not me,’ is becoming very much a reality in the last two weeks of this campaign, because I’m not going to be able to be here as much as I would like.”
