Dem presidential candidates introducing themselves to voters

WASHINGTON, Feb 16, (AP): Five Democratic senators vying for their party’s nomination to challenge President Donald Trump in 2020 are fanning out across the country Saturday to campaign and meet voters.

Kamala (KAH’-mah-lah) Harris of California is spending her second straight day in the pivotal early-voting state of South Carolina. That’s where Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts is starting out before heading to Georgia - an unusual stop for a presidential candidate this early in the election cycle.

Cory Booker of New Jersey and Kirsten Gillibrand (KEER’-sten JIHL’uh-brand) of New York have events planned in another critical early-voting state, New Hampshire.

Amy Klobuchar (KLOH’-buh-shar) of Minnesota is also making an uncommon choice for early campaigning by visiting Wisconsin before going to Iowa, home to the nation’s leadoff caucuses.
