FORT DODGE, Iowa - Iowa resident Carolyn Miller had long harbored doubts about Joe Biden’s candidacy, believing the former vice president was too old and too fumbling to beat President Donald Trump in November’s election.
Biden has seized on the latest crisis with Iran to tout his foreign policy credentials. He has also used the impeachment battle over Trump’s effort to get Ukraine to investigate Biden to show his ability to weather attacks from a Republican president he argues fears him most as a competitor. Yet Biden’s campaign has shifted from lowering expectations in Iowa to saying a win there would allow him to control the race from the start.
“His message of healing the country – I can’t tell you how powerful that is,” she said. “People are exhausted. He’s a calming force. I’m not sure voters are ready for big structural change.”Speaking to campaign volunteers last week in Des Moines, Iowa, Biden clutched handwritten notes that included polling figures out that day showing him ahead in New Hampshire ahead of the state’s Feb. 11 primary.
