Andrew Yang Says Supporters May Go Sanders in Iowa Caucus [View all]

Andrew Yang Says Supporters May Go Sanders in Iowa Caucus:

Andrew Yang said he won’t be surprised if his voters end up supporting Bernie Sanders in later rounds of the Iowa caucus voting -- a development that could strengthen Sanders’s already-surging campaign in the state.

Speaking at a Bloomberg News reporter round table in Des Moines, Yang said there is an “overlap” between his supporters and those of the progressive Vermont senator.

“I think that Bernie and I do have a lot of overlap in support so it wouldn’t be surprising to me if many of our supporters head in that direction,” he said.

At Monday’s caucuses, Iowans will conduct a first round to pick their favorite candidate. Any candidate who falls short of the required support can direct his or her supporters to back a rival in a second round.


If you've ever been to a caucus, this is how they work; if your first choice doesn't get enough votes to be viable (15% or higher); you can join another group and support their candidate. I won't be surprised if Bernie picks up votes from Yang, Gabbard, and possible Steyer supporters.
