Kamala Harris made the traditional pilgrimage to Iowa after announcing her presidential campaign, but focused as much on a national audience as her fellow Democrats in the state who get the first official say in the nomination race.
The California senator on Monday whipped through Iowa, skipping more conventional interactions with voters for a nationally broadcast town hall that included questions from Iowans. That contrasts with the approach of other declared Democratic candidates, including Senator Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts, who held roughly half a dozen events over three days during her first visit after announcing a likely presidential bid.
