While Hillary Clinton was preparing for her first formal campaign rally in New York City Saturday, underdog Democratic candidate Bernie Sanders was holding a press conference and open house in his first Iowa field office. Down the hall from Team Sanders, a "Hillary for America" sign was displayed outside another office.
Earlier, the Vermont senator's campaign sent a fundraising e-mail to supporters with the subject line, “It’s not about me or Hillary Clinton.” Sanders wrote that the “massive turnout and energy” at his events “remind me that this campaign is not about Bernie Sanders. It’s not about Hillary Clinton. And it’s not about Jeb Bush. It’s about the needs of the American people.”
