Bernie Sanders unleashes volunteer army on Nevada
LAS VEGAS, Nevada — Nevada is a notoriously tough place for presidential candidates to attract volunteers. But Bernie Sanders has somehow amassed an army.
According to political strategists here, it can be difficult for candidates to assemble volunteers in Nevada, particularly in Las Vegas, because so many residents work shift jobs with irregular hours. But volunteers are especially critical in a caucus state because “it’s important because those are the folks who go in and encourage others to realign on second alignment,” said Jones, a former senior adviser to Kamala Harris’ campaign in the state.
Story continuesIn a space belonging to Sanders’ state political director, Keenan Korth, and decorated with Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Medicare-for-All signs, the event attracted dozens of people and some star-studded power. In addition to Jackson, hosts of the popular left-wing podcast Chapo Trap House attended and rallied volunteers before they hit the doors.
“We found in our efforts to organize voters that are eligible for the Strip caucus that lots and lots of cab drivers are our supporters and they are eligible for the Strip caucus because of where they drive,” said Michelsen. “It’s finding one that knows the rest of them and they have their own communication networks.”
Warren’s ground game in the early states has been praised by Democratic officials, but it failed to deliver her wins in Iowa and New Hampshire. Buttigieg, who insiders said had volunteer muscle in Iowa that paralleled Sanders’ operation, got off to a later start than other candidates in Nevada. However, his team said that “in the last four days alone, the campaign had over 200 first-time volunteers in Nevada.
