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.
