morning who said she actually came down from massachusetts because she thought that it was important because new hampshire is first in the nation. she wanted to be out here making sure that warren s message was reaching the people and that she was able to do her part to the get senator elected. okay. ali vitali, i thank you for that wrap-up and also for having spoken to that woman. let s move over to the joe biden campaign in des moines. that s where nbc s marianna sotomayor has been following that trail. so, tell me about his town hall today. reporter: so, joe biden actually made his 15th visit here in iowa just moments ago. he was in des moines, where he tried to cheer up a very actually animated crowd for him, one of his largest in the hawkeye state, with the new endorsement of former governor tom vilsack and his wife, christie. the biden campaign is hoping a big endorsement like that can actually propel iowans to caucus and have joe biden finish first here. biden himself today
screen. but joining us from the campaign trail right now, nbc s ali vitali with elizabeth warren in new hampshire and marianna sotomay sotomayor, following joe biden s team. ladies, with a good morning to you both, ali, give me a sense of what s going on out there where you are. reporter: alex, you know things happen really fast out here on the campaign trail. five minutes ago there was a s battalion of elizabeth warren volunteers here kicking off a day of canvassing. they were in the coffee shop behind me picking up their pamphlets and walk booklets and this is how the ground game happens in places like new hampshire and iowa. when we talk about the campaigns with volunteers and staff on the ground, it s things like this that we re talking about, where the candidate came in this morning, gave a little bit of a speech to pep people up and sent them on their way. there were a few people going out with their scripts, going to go door knock, talk to voters and try to win people to eliza
know that with this endorsement, i will be able to not only win the nomination, but also win here in the state. but something that he argued and also his wife, dr. jill biden, argued, is something that the campaign is also amplifying in recent weeks, which is that he is the most electable. and remember, if voters want to get progressive legislation done, they need someone who can beat donald trump first to be able to do that and also have the relationships in congress and internationally to be able to unite the country again. just very quickly wanted to point out what a campaign aide said in terms of the slip in polls, especially here in iowa. they say, listen, voters here are still in the dating phase. they are dating these candidates, trying to flirt and see who could be the most interesting one. however, biden at the end of the day, when it comes to a marriage, is the one specific candidate who can actually get things done. all right. cute analogy there. marianna sotomayor and ali
