President
Iowa: Ahead of next week’s caucuses. Sanders leads with 25%, followed by Buttigieg with 18% and Biden with 17%. This wouldn’t’t be the the last time a frontrunner lost Iowa, but third place is pretty harsh.

Comedian, podcaster, and UFC commentator Joe Rogan recently endorsed Sanders’ presidential bid, and that’s a decently big deal.

While it’s possible that this is a sincere endorsement, savvy minds might see it as an attempt to pull some Bernie voters to Warren and give biden a better chance at coming up the middle….
