In a rare move, Sanders also acknowledges some of the polling that has come out Sunday morning. But instead of focusing on the ABC News/Washington Post poll that shows strong national gains for his campaign, or the CNN/UNH poll that gives him a sizable New Hampshire lead, he hones in on a CBS poll where he and Biden are neck-and-neck in Iowa:

\"You will be the first state voting in the 2020 election cycle. So what happens here is enormously important. It is enormously important,\" the senator said. \"So I am here this afternoon to very humbly ask for your support. Today, there was a poll that came out, which had us, leading by all of 1 point. So this is going to be a very close election, my opponents are working very hard to try to win it.\"

Sunday, 3:33 p.m. - Sanders attends another unpublicized canvass launch at his Fort Dodge office, again speaking briefly, but also turning the microphone over to his Iowa state director, who announced that in the 36 hours prior, the campaign knocked over 102,000 doors in Iowa.

Sunday, 5:43 p.m. - The senator launches into his stump speech at the King's Pointe Resort in Storm Lake, where a crowd of a few hundred listen as he references some of the uncertainty that continues to swirl around the impeachment trial schedule, saying he's not sure he'll be back next Saturday, but \"certainly hopes to be back here for a victory celebration\" on caucus night.

Sunday, 9:17 p.m. - Another Portugal. The Man set and Moore and Ocasio-Cortez help to draw a 1,100-person crowd to the Sioux City Convention Center for the final event of the trip, where Sanders shares instructions with the crowd for how to help push his campaign across the goal line.

\"Say 'hello' to your neighbor, your coworker, your friend and say, 'You know what, this is why I'm supporting Bernie Sanders, ask me any question that you want, let's discuss what's going on in America, let's discuss where we have got to go from the here, and don't complain come out and vote on caucus night,\" he said.

At his most energized moment of the trip, Sanders touted the fact that his various rivals were beginning to notice the strength of his campaign.

\"Suddenly, Donald Trump is talking about our campaign. Suddenly the Republican National Committee is tweeting about our campaign,\" he said. \"Suddenly we have the Democratic establishment very nervous about this campaign. We've got, we've got the insurance companies nervous. We've got the drug companies nervous. We've got the fossil fuel industry nervous. We've got the military industrial complex nervous. We got the prison industrial complex nervous.\"

\"They're starting to think, 'Could this really happen?'\" he continued. \"'Could there really be a political movement in America, where it brings together blacks and whites, and Latinos and Asian-Americans and Native Americans, gay and straight, to stand up as working class people fighting for change?'\"

\"We are their worst nightmare. This is their 'Nightmare on Elm Street,'\" Sanders states, to thunderous cheers.

Sunday, 10:35 p.m. - Sanders boards his plane at Sioux Gateway Airport for his flight back to Washington, D.C.

Monday, 1:00 a.m. - The plane lands at Reagan airport.

Monday, 12:32 p.m. The senator arrives on Capitol Hill for the impeachment trial but declines to take questions from reporters, saying he's late for a meeting.
