(Radio Iowa) — Democratic presidential candidate Amy Klobuchar hit the Iowa campaign trail this weekend. “It is wonderful to be back in Mason City on a wonderful sunny day,” Klobuchar said Saturday before joking. “I left my snowglobe behind.”  Klobuchar kicked off her campaign for the White House eight days ago with an outdoor speech in her homestate of Minnesota – during a snow storm. Yesterday (Sunday) afternoon, Klobuchar met with Iowans in Knoxville and Albia, promising to bring Midwest pragmatism to the Oval Office if she’s the next president. “When you drive the snowstorm in Iowa today, you think about all the people who for so many years that worked hard to earn a living and continue to work hard to earn a living,” Klobuchar said, “and one of the things that I have done in Minnesota because we’ve got a metropolitan area and rural is try to bridge that divide.”

Klobuchar calls her approach “heartland economics.” “Making sure we make the case that one size doesn’t fit all, that you’ve got special needs for rural hospitals, that you’ve got special needs for how we run our schools and other things, but it’s also about governing from the heart,” Klobuchar says. “and that means everyone’s got to have everyone’s backs and got to take on some of these special interests whether it’s health care or whether it’s the tech companies.”

John Delaney, the former Maryland congressman who’s been running for governor since 2017, campaigned in Iowa this weekend, as did a couple of other Democrats who say they’re CONSIDERING a run for the White House.
