Impeachment Trial Keeps Candidates In D.C. Ahead Of Iowa Caucuses

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. The trial's schedule may impact their campaign events, and Iowans, who value personal interaction with candidates, may not get the chance to meet them. The situation remains fluid, with various strategies being employed to engage voters.
