Sen. Amy Klobuchar hosts town hall, speaks to voters in Falls Church

Ahead of Super Tuesday, the Democratic candidate stopped by D.C. suburb to talk with voters and discuss her campaign.

FALLS CHURCH, Va. — On the heels of Super Tuesday, presidential candidate Sen. Amy Klobuchar, D-Minn., stopped in Falls Church, Virginia to chat with voters and discuss her campaign.

The event took place at the State Theatre, drawing supporters of all ages from across the DMV.

Residents held up signs and wore buttons announcing their support for the candidate, who was first elected as a Democrat to the Senate in 2006.

The visit is one of many from presidential hopefuls to the commonwealth -- Pete Buttigieg held a rally in Arlington early last week, and Bernie Sanders and Michael Bloomberg have campaign events scheduled in Virginia this weekend.

In an interview, Klobuchar said her campaign should not be underestimated, with only one poll available to gauge voter support in Virginia. 

A survey from Monmouth University released earlier this month showed Klobuchar polling at nine percent in the commonwealth, with Michael Bloomberg and Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) leading at 22 percentage points each.

"We have defied expectations every step of the way in this campaign," Klobuchar said. "Some people didn't think I would make it through the blizzard of my speech, and they didn't think I would make it through New Hampshire. We find a way."

The Virginia primary takes place March 3 -- Super Tuesday.
