Trump crashes Iowa ahead of caucuses and crucial impeachment vote by hunterw & writerknowles
DES MOINES, Iowa — Four days before the Democratic presidential candidates will compete in the Iowa caucuses, and with the U.S. Senate debating in Washington whether to remove him from office, Trump stormed into the Hawkeye State to try to create headlines of his own.
“The president is not averse to a little counterprogramming when it’s warranted, but I mean, the fact is, there are Republican caucuses on Monday and that’s why we’re as heavily engaged as we are,” Murtaugh said. “That’s the purpose of this rally, to get everybody fired up.” Story continues“Watching what’s happening with the impeachment, watching what’s happening in the Senate — it gets you down,” Buttigieg said Thursday while campaigning in Ames on Wednesday. “It makes you want to watch cartoons instead.”
As Trump held his rally in Des Moines, the Senate continued to lay the groundwork for a pivotal Friday vote on whether to allow witnesses testify at the president’s impeachment trial. And while Murtaugh said the Trump campaign’s strategy might “change a little around the edges” depending on who wins the Democratic primary, he predicted the president will ultimately win.
Michael Kracht, a Des Moines resident, said he only watched “the first 10 minutes” of the hearings and was repelled since Trump has faced multiple investigations since taking office.
