The former mayor has outperformed so far in rural areas, a potentially important factor in the tightly bunched caucuses
LAS VEGAS — When Nevada’s caucus results start flowing in this weekend, Pete Buttigieg’s campaign will be paying outsized attention to some of the smallest precincts in the state.
“Sanders and Warren spent a lot of time in the rural counties early on, but a lot has changed since last summer, and if Buttigieg catches lightning in a bottle in the rurals, then he could be very, very competitive in Nevada,” said one former aide who worked in Nevada for a now-finished presidential campaign, granted anonymity to talk about the state candidly. “He’s gambling on that strategy, and it’s a smart one.
“Pete scaled up more through the fall, but because it takes time to find voters, identify voters, it’ll be interesting to watch if they found people late,” said Goff, who has endorsed Warren. “But based on what I’ve seen in the past, it’s hard to do that when you don’t give yourself enough time to organize.”
