The Latest: Buttigieg Thanks Volunteers Before Iowa Caucuses

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — More than 100 supporters of Democratic presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg have crowded into the backroom of his West Des Moines, Iowa, headquarters before heading out to knock on doors as the hours tick down to Iowa’s caucuses. The former South Bend, Indiana, mayor popped in Monday to thank the precinct-level volunteers. Buttigieg says his campaign and volunteers are exactly where they need to be “to astonish the political world.” Buttigieg is among a pack at the top of the field in Iowa. Anthony Elarth traveled from Seattle to help train Buttigieg’s volunteers in Iowa. Elarth says volunteers engaging voters at their doors “want to have a conversation, not a debate.”
