Iowa Steak Fry 2020: 17 Democrat Presidential Hopefuls Attend Polka County Steak Fry

Presidential hopefuls seeking the Democratic Party’s nomination to fight President Donald Trump’s re-election bid in 2020 have gathered for the Polka County Steak Fry in Iowa.

The event comes less than five months ahead of Iowa’s caucuses – the first to take place nationwide in each presidential election.

Event organizers said more than 12,000 people attended the fundraiser.

Of the 19 Democrats left in the running, 17 spoke on September 21.

The attendees showed up for burgers and face time with 17 Democratic presidential candidates at the Polk County Democratic Party’s annual steak fry in Iowa on Saturday. Although 18 candidates were initially expected to attend, New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio dropped out of the presidential race on September 20.
