Vice President Pence traveled to Iowa with Agriculture Secretary Sonny Perdue and Senators Chuck Grassley and Joni Ernst to engage in discussions with religious and food supply leaders. The trip was delayed due to a staff member testing positive for COVID-19. Pence met with religious leaders to discuss the reopening of services and participated in a roundtable on food supply issues at Hy Vee's headquarters. Iowa, which has had relatively lax COVID-19 restrictions, is experiencing a spike in cases, with over 11,000 positive tests reported.
