25-foot inflatable balloon of Warren’s dog Bailey makes campaign appearance

A 25-foot inflatable balloon of Sen. Elizabeth Warren’s (D-Mass.) dog, Bailey, made an appearance on the presidential campaign trail in Iowa on Friday as part of a growing bid to name him “First Dog.”

The balloon was seen in Des Moines ahead of the Iowa Democratic Party’s Liberty and Justice Celebration, formerly known as the Jefferson-Jackson Dinner, which is seen as an important campaign event ahead of the state’s caucuses.

The balloon was seen adorned with two pennies on the collar, similar to what Bailey was dressed up as on Halloween.

Warren shared a video of her “Two Cents” dog on Instagram.

Bailey has been a staple on Warren’s social media accounts since the senator received the dog last July as a surprise gift from her husband, Bruce Mann.

The pup frequently joins her in traveling for her 2020 bid, and there is even a text alert system through her presidential campaign to get frequent photos of the golden retriever.

The pooch is named after George Bailey, the community banker in the movie “It’s a Wonderful Life.”
