The impeachment trial of President Donald Trump is affecting the campaign plans of four senators: Michael Bennett, Amy Klobuchar, Bernie Sanders, and Elizabeth Warren. These senators must balance their roles as jurors in Washington DC with their presidential campaigns, particularly in Iowa. To maintain campaign momentum, they rely on surrogates like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and the Castro brothers.
