Flush with cash, Yang wrestles with where to spend it
Politico
The reality is that his newfound campaign riches are creating internal tension about whether to beef up the Iowa operation or bet it all in New Hampshire.
Yangs strong focus has always been on New Hampshire, the first-in-the-nation primary state where he has spent more time than any of the top-tier candidates. The campaign sees it as ripe ground for him Democratic voters relish their independent-streak and showed they were open to non-traditional candidates in the past, delivering Sen. Bernie Sanders a decisive win in the 2016 primary.
Their goal, to date, has been to finish at the top of the second-tier in order to stay relevant after the early-voting states. Suddenly though, with money to play in Iowa as well, there is a vigorous debate about where to spend the cash and Yangs other precious commodity his time.
I think if we overperform expectations will have a very powerful narrative coming out of New Hampshire that people don't expect us to be at the top four here, Yang said after wrapping up the final of 14 events during a four-day trip here. If we break the top four, I think people will see that we have a ton of energy behind us.
