DES MOINES, Iowa — Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., began to lose her voice Saturday night after she began her campaign swing through Iowa 24 hours earlier.
Speaking to an overflow crowd in Iowa's capital city, the Massachusetts Democrat told the crowd that she got a cold before delivering an abbreviated version of her stump speech.
"I have a piece of bad news: I have a cold," Warren said through an audibly hoarse voice. "Too much time with little people," she added. A spokesperson for Warren said the senator was referring to her grandchildren with whom she had spent the holidays.
Warren was completing her fourth campaign stop in two days after stops in Council Bluffs, Sioux City, and Storm Lake, where Warren also spoke not only to packed rooms, but overflow crowds before the main events.
In her opening remarks to a crowd of 700 strong a few blocks away from the state capitol, Warren changed up her introduction to note the cold she was battling.
"The bad news is I've caught a cold. The good news is nevertheless, I persist," Warren said before breaking into her stump speech.
Warren is the first of the 2020 Democratic hopefuls to visit Iowa in 2019. Her trip comes days after she announced an exploratory committee for a campaign.
Her final Iowa campaign stop is slated for Sunday afternoon in Ankeny.

“”I have a piece of bad news: I have a cold,”” Bad news? To whom? And, your voice ain’t the only thing she’s gonna lose. Primaries? Pffffttttt! Her 15 seconds is way gone.
Not that tough to get “an overflow” crowd when the venue is 700 in the states largest city. Of course, Jeb probably couldn’t do it.
I've heard people refer to their grandchildren as "the little people" all the time. /s
No love for that idiot, but my experience is that young grandchildren, nieces and nephews are pretty much two-legged plague vectors. Still love them, but yeah...
That “Little people” remark will hurt her for the rest of her life!
Leona Helmsley redux?
LOL! I love it when the hoi polloi “Better than us” establishment dingbats stuff their foot in their mouth!
Must have been that beer she swilled on her video. We know that alcohol and “Native Americans” like Fauxahontas don’t mix well!
“Little people”.
I thought that got all cleared up with Norma Desmond.
Too much peyote in the peace pipe.
I’m willing to give Sen. Warren the benefit of the doubt on this one. In context, it’s fair to presume she was speaking of children - not constituents.
I’m surprised she didn’t say, “I got me a cold.” Much more authentic and folksy that way, like her “I’m going to get me a beer.”
With all the screeching and angry screaming that she does, I’m surprised that she doesn’t lose it more often.
I just spent a week under 9 blankets.
Tried to speak with clients a few days ago but, my voice would shut off after a sentence or two...
Sucks...
But, Back at work to Make Vendome Great Again!
She-Who-Gaffes.
"The Little People'?................So now she's claiming she's Irish?..................
This is understandable and quite true.
Midgets carry a myriad of diseases and if you don't
know what you're doing you can put yourself at great risk.
I’ve heard moms of large families refer to their younger kids as “the littles”. We’ve referred to our youngest two as “the little kids” since they were no longer babies.
It’s not terribly uncommon. But she is still a terrible person.
