Klobuchar Scrambles to Build a Campaign

“Amy Klobuchar is scrambling to hire for basic jobs that other campaigns filled months ago, including ‘Nevada operations director.’ She had no campaign bus in Nevada, so staffers had to drive the one in New Hampshire 2,700 miles to get there. She lacked expertise on the Nevada caucuses, so her Iowa specialist has been put on the task,” the Washington Post reports.

“In a sense, the senator is living the dream of the underdog candidate: Klobuchar (D-Minn.) transformed an electric debate moment into an unexpected third place finish in New Hampshire, catapulting her overnight into the top tier of Democratic candidates.”

“But as she seeks to turn that magic moment into something more, the question is whether it’s too late and the challenge too big.”
