before the end of the year. if you believe a president sets more than policy for this country but also the tone, the civility for this country, and if you believe a president should not just stand her ground, yes, but also seek common ground, well, i m amy klobuchar and i m running for president. klobuchar from minnesota is banking on a strong finish in her neighboring state of iowa where south bend mayor pete buttigieg currently leads the polls ahead of biden, sanders and elizabeth warren. warren spent the day in california visiting a day care center as part of the service employees international union s campaign to walk a day in the shoes of workers across the country. well, that news was overshadowed by her campaign announcing in a fund-raising pitch to supporters it would fall short of its third quarter fund-raising total when the next fund-raising deadline closes in the next few days.

shoes of workers across the country. well, that news was overshadowed by her campaign announcing in a fund-raising pitch to supporters it would fall short of its third quarter fund-raising total when the next fund-raising deadline closes in a next few days. the warren campaign says it has raised $17 million to date in the fourth quarter. about two thirds of it two thirds of what the previous three months haul was. warren s last minute appeal is just one of many democratic pitches as candidates look to project strength ahead of the iowa caucuses which are now just 38 days away. joining me now, pbs news hour, white house correspondent and i so love adding this part to your title now, one of the moderators at the last democratic primary debate. yamish, great to see you. thank you for joining us tonight. a lot has been made of the fact joe biden and bernie sanders sit at the top of national polls
does any part of you feel if you had just cut the check for $500,000 that you would be the ambassador to the bahamas? no, b first oall, you have to get out of committee and you have to be voted on the floor. it s a big process. reporter: a process that he quickly addressed. he wrote back the mcdaniel s request for $500,000. as you know, i am not supposed to do it, but my wife is sending a contribution for $100,000. assuming i get voted out of the foreign relations committee on wednesday to the floor, we need you to have the majority leader eding it to a majority vote. once confirmed, i, our family, will respond. you know what this looks like. well, it looks like that to you, but my wife gave out a separate fund. and she, in fact, loves donald trump. we had concerns just about judgment, about demeanor. reporter: former senator bob corker chaired the foreign relations committee and held up manchester s nomination. we told him about ronna mcdaniel s $500,000 fund-raising pitch
was investigating corruption and you listen to other people and to clear a bribe. i don t know what direction it s going to take and i think that depositions and the testimony this week, it will start to take on a trend because initially it looked like you know, i m not sure which way it s going to go. i think as things go on, it will tilt a direction and markets will react. neil: leaves the bill clinton example where the expectation was that he would probably have a tough time in the house. he did. it didn t go anywhere in the senate. almost the same expectations here. but faster. i think also i like to look at this on the fund-raising sid side. neil: money, money, money. some of the numbers, there s been an uptick in fund-raising in the g.o.p. and growing. which tells me that they are looking at this pretty seriously to do a fund-raising pitch on it as well.
