Joe Biden has a smaller presence in New Hampshire compared to his rivals, barely takes questions from voters, and he’s trailing in the polls there
Biden’s campaign has, relative to the other top-tier candidates, struggled with fundraising. Campaign advisers say the campaign has to make tough choices about where to deploy limited resources and constantly assesses where to spend and how much — suggesting he could shift gears to focus more on New Hampshire going forward.
To Biden’s campaign, the race in Iowa is far closer than the Sanders’ campaign admits. And, though Sanders is, they see the Vermont senator doing far worse against Biden in a state where the neighboring senator was once expected to post a blowout. But that trip left some voters, accustomed to large amounts of retail politicking, wanting more. In a state where citizens expect town halls and the opportunity to pepper presidential candidates with questions, Biden hasby not engaging in much of a back-and-forth with citizens. His campaign says voters are free to talk to him in the rope line after events, where he takes selfies and questions and makes small talk in equal measure with often-appreciative voters.
The Biden campaign has spent and reserved more ad time in the other early states: $1.8 million in Iowa, $667,000 in Nevada and $1 million in South Carolina. Some of that South Carolina money, a campaign adviser said, could be shifted to New Hampshire if Biden remains dominant in the former and if more money could help in the latter.
