2020 Democrats' pitch to independents and Republicans falling flat

IOWA FALLS, Iowa — In a primary marked by its sharp turn to the political Left, a handful of 2020 Democrats are pedaling their appeal to Republicans and independents in their closing arguments before next week’s Iowa caucuses, with mixed results.

Joe Biden, Pete Buttigieg, Amy Klobuchar, and even Elizabeth Warren are pitching their potential to broaden the Democratic tent by adding Republicans and independents unimpressed with President Trump to the fold should one of them become the party’s nominee.
