After failing to qualify for a debate in Iowa earlier this month, Andrew Yang has earned a spot at the next Democratic primary debate, in New Hampshire on February 7, Politico reports.

Yang will be joined by Joe Biden, Pete Buttigieg, Amy Klobuchar, Bernie Sanders, Tom Steyer and Elizabeth Warren.

A new CNN poll in New Hampshire finds Bernie Sanders leading the Democratic presidential race with 25%, followed by Joe Biden at 16%, Pete Buttigieg at 15% and Elizabeth Warren at 12%%.

They are followed by Amy Klobuchar at 6%, Tulsi Gabbard at 5% and Andrew Yang at 5%.

A Washington Post-ABC News national poll finds former vice president Joe Biden and Bernie Sanders, whose candidacies embody competing wings of the Democratic Party, at 32% and 23% among Democratic-leaning voters.

Elizabeth Warren, the only other Democratic presidential candidate in double digits nationally, is at 12%, down significantly from 23% in October.

The New Hampshire Union Leader endorsed Sen. Amy Klobuchar in the Democratic presidential primary.

“If there is to be any realistic challenge to Trump in November, the Democratic nominee needs to have a proven and substantial record of accomplishment across party lines, an ability to unite rather than divide, and the strength and stamina to go toe-to-toe with the Tweeter-in-Chief.”

“That would be U.S. Sen. Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota. She is sharp and witty, with a commanding understanding of both history and the inner workings of Capitol Hill.”

President Barack Obama called Donald Trump a “fascist” in a phone conversation with Sen. Tim Kaine during the 2016 presidential election, Kaine says in a video clip featured in an upcoming documentary about Hillary Clinton, NBC News reports.

Said Kaine: “President Obama called me last night and said: ‘Tim, remember, this is no time to be a purist. You’ve got to keep a fascist out of the White House.'”

The Des Moines Register endorsed Sen. Elizabeth Warren in the Iowa caucuses, calling her “the best leader for these times.”

Walter Shapiro: “And while I don’t want to over-hype newspapers in 2020, Warren has the organization to get the most mileage out of the Register’s nod. This is a bit of a boost for her.”

Walter Shapiro: “Biden is drawing significantly smaller Iowa crowds than Pete Buttigieg, Bernie Sanders, or Elizabeth Warren. In fact, Biden may have played to more packed rooms in the run-up to the 2008 caucuses in which he limped home with an embarrassingly weak fifth-place finish.”

“Crowd size is often over-hyped in politics (see Trump, Donald), but turnout at candidate events matters in Iowa and New Hampshire. A significant fraction of early-state voters go out of their way to see candidates in person.”

“Biden supporters would argue that turnout at town meetings represents a flawed gauge since Iowa voters know him so well. But Sanders is also a familiar political figure—he is even recycling many of the same lines he used on the campaign trail in 2016—and yet he still draws huge crowds. His familiarity hasn’t dampened the enthusiasm for his candidacy.”

“Freed momentarily from the Senate’s impeachment trial, several presidential candidates high-tailed it to Iowa on Saturday for a last-minute blitz of campaigning before the state’s caucuses kick off the battle for the Democratic nomination,” the AP reports.

“The burst of campaigning comes as the contest for the Democratic nomination enters a critical — and volatile — phase.”
