Some of the loudest applause at the Wing Ding fundraiser on Friday night came for Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren.
The packed field of Democratic presidential candidates descended on a small, northern Iowa town, delighting a raucous crowd of voters by largely attacking President Donald Trump rather than each other.
Also energising the crowd was Mayor Pete Buttigeig of South Bend, Indiana, who accused the president of "coddling white nationalism" and mocked Trump's background in television, saying he wasn't sure if its current occupant had turned the White House into a "reality show" or a "horror show.""What we're going to do is pick up the remote and change the channel," Buttigeig, the youngest presidential candidate, proclaimed to sustained cheers.
The event coincides with the state fair in Des Moines, and most Democratic White House hopefuls have been crisscrossing the state for days. California Senator Kamala Harris is on a bus tour, New York Senator Kirsten Gillibrand is travelling via RV and former Colorado Governor John Hickenlooper has a Winnebago. Many of Friday's speeches featured cracking voices after long stretches of campaigning.
