There are 12 new candidates running since last week, including two Republicans. In total, 791 individuals are currently filed with the FEC to run for president.

Notable Quote of the Day ([link removed])

“Their [Iowa] trips highlighted that Warren and Sanders are betting their candidacies on divergent strategies, and they believe they can grow in different areas. Warren, faced with questions of electability, is trying to show her message appeals in unlikely places. Sanders, meanwhile, is fishing for votes among older Iowans more likely to support former vice president Joe Biden.”

– Annie Linskey, _The Washington Post_ national political reporter
