With the Iowa Race Tighter Than Ever, Clinton and Sanders Sharpen Their Aim
With time short before Monday’s caucuses in Iowa kick off the presidential nominating contests, Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders are deploying high-profile supporters and sharpening their stump speeches as a new poll showed the competition between the Democratic front-runners as tight as it ever has been.
Clinton was joined by Gabrielle Giffords, the former Arizona congresswoman wounded in a mass shooting five years ago, during a Saturday rally where the candidate repeated her call for tougher gun control measures.
She’s also ramped up her criticism of Sanders’ proposal for a government-run healthcare system, warning voters Friday that it could jeopardize gains made under President Obama while opening a “terrible debate” over an idea that will “never, ever happen.”
