Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders is making a final, optimistic pitch to Iowans in a TV ad set to air Tuesday ahead of the Feb. 1 nominating caucuses.

“There are those who say we cannot defeat a corrupt political system and fix a rigged economy,” Sanders says to the camera at the beginning of the 60-second spot, which was first obtained by Bloomberg Politics. As the sun rises over a cornfield, Sanders delivers the money line: “But I believe we need to lift our vision above the obstacles in place and look to the American horizon.”
