Sanders, O'Rourke face off in Iowa; other hopefuls in NH, SC

It’s Bernie versus Beto in Iowa on a busy campaign weekend in the early nominating states.

The two 2020 Democratic presidential candidates are holding dueling events just days after Bernie Sanders won the campaign cash derby for the first quarter of the year.
