Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., will leave Nevada before the results of the caucuses are tallied and head for Seattle, where her presidential campaign is holding a downtown rally.
Elizabeth Warren swung by a suburban Nevada caucus site to pose for pictures with supporters and offer doughnuts to volunteers. She ducked inside for a moment and called out to voters still waiting in line to caucus. She said: “Thank you for participating in democracy.”
Before the sun started peeking out behind the clouds in late morning, Elizabeth Warren volunteers were shielding Nevada caucus goers for the rain with umbrellas as they entered a caucus location at a high school on the east side of Las Vegas.
Her advisers told CNN that the campaign hopes to do well in Washington and splitting the day will allow them to hit as many places as possible
Ballots became available in Washington, which is a vote-by-mail state, on Friday, so Warren must boost her efforts quickly to get voters' attention there. Last summer, she held a summer outdoor rally in the state that marked one of her largest events to date.
Meanwhile, the campaign announced early on Saturday, before Nevada's caucuses started, that it had raised $14 million, doubling its initial goal of raising $7 million before the Nevada caucusing started.
Warren’s disappointing fourth place finish in her neighboring state of New Hampshire was considered potentially fatal to her campaign. But her supporters believe she can build on her strong debate performance and find a path to victory. The money will help.
