Buttigieg Campaign Plays Down Expectations for Iowa

“Pete Buttigieg’s campaign has done 50 town halls in the last five weeks statewide and he’s visited 25 of the 31 counties that went from Barack Obama in 2012 to Donald Trump in 2016 — but aides say he doesn’t have to win the caucuses to become the nominee,” Axios reports.

Said senior advisor Michael Halle: “In the first four states — but especially in Iowa and New Hampshire — we need to demonstrate that we are viable for Super Tuesday and for the larger primary.”
