19 Democratic candidates visited the Iowa Democratic Party’s Hall of Fame yesterday to deliver a five-minute campaign pitch to a throng of state party activists — and they hit the stage with a walk-out song of their own choosing, per TIME’s Lissandra Villa:
Michael Bennet: “The Rising,” Bruce Springsteen
Cory Booker: “Lovely Day,” Bill Withers
Steve Bullock: “Small Town,” John Mellencamp
Pete Buttigieg: “Never Giving Up,” Batchelor
Bill de Blasio: “Rudie Can’t Fail,” The Clash
John Delaney: “I’ve Been Everywhere,” Johnny Cash
Tulsi Gabbard: “Ain’t No Mountain High Enough,” Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell
Kirsten Gillibrand: “Good as Hell,” Lizzo
Kamala Harris: “Work That,” Mary J. Blige
John Hickenlooper: “Good Life,” OneRepublic
Jay Inslee: “Mr. Blue Sky,” Electric Light Orchestra
Amy Klobuchar: “The Bullpen,” Dessa
Beto O’Rourke: “Clampdown,” The Clash
Tim Ryan: “Old Town Road,” Lil Nas X feat. Billy Ray Cyrus
Bernie Sanders: “Power to the People,” John Lennon
Eric Swalwell: “Caught Up in the Country,” Rodney Atkins
Elizabeth Warren: “9 to 5,” Dolly Parton
Marianne Williamson: “Higher Ground,” Stevie Wonder
Andrew Yang: “Return of the Mack,” Mark Morrison
Based on the above, I will either be voting for Kamala or Kirsten. Come on — “Good As Hell,” Kirsten? You get me, you really get me.
And Beto, We get it, you’re SO punk rock.
De Blasio, you are not punk rock, nor is your name Rudie. Stop.
This one’s for Kirsten.
