The final countdown to the Iowa caucuses is on.
Ahead of Monday night’s caucuses, which kick off the state-by-state nominating process to pick U.S. presidential nominees, Democratic candidates made their closing pitches in earnest.
The band Vampire Weekend was arguably the true headliner for the mostly young attendees who make up the 78-year-old’s enthusiastic base. Along with a gig Friday night in Clive that featured the folk musician Bon Iver, the weekend rally was dubbed “Bern-chella,” after the Coachella music festival. The campaign said the crowd was the biggest yet for any Democratic candidate this election cycle and ushered in a weekend of high turnout as voters sought a last glimpse of candidates before the caucuses.
