Will Joe Biden’s campaign survive after the Iowa caucuses?
The so-called front runner and previously successful national candidate has been plagued by small crowds throughout his time campaigning in the early state.
Today, a played to a tiny audience at the Comfort Inn in Fort Madison:

A candidate for state representative could probably generate similar crowds.
It was a similar scene earlier today in Burlington:

There are literally four rows of chairs.
Last night wasn’t much better at the American Legion in Ottumwa:

Judging by our count, there were less than 75 potential voters in attendance in Newton, a city 30 miles outside of Des Moines, that afternoon.

John Davidson, political editor of The Federalist, noted “There are more press than people” at the rally.
Look at his photo:

Davidson’s photo showed several members of the media filing stories, or perhaps playing Fortnite, in the back of the room.
Does Biden’s campaign have the stamina to make it through the primaries, let alone through the general election?
