Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.) is laying off staff at her Baltimore headquarters and redeploying others to Iowa, restructuring her dwindling 2020 campaign, according to reports.

According to a campaign memo obtained by Politico, Harris plans to focus more on a make-or-break effort in the first nominating contest in Iowa. She will redeploy field staff to Iowa from California, New Hampshire, and Nevada as she goes “all-in.”
