- Bernie Sanders scrapped Iowa campaign appearances, Amy Klobuchar sent campaign representatives to “hot dish” dinners and Elizabeth Warren planned a remote video speech as the Democratic senators running for president got stuck in Washington for Donald Trump’s impeachment trial.
All four Democratic senators running for their party’s nomination to unseat the Republican president - including Michael Bennet of Colorado - must now divert from the campaign trail for six-day work weeks during the proceedings. Some Iowa political experts say Klobuchar, a Minnesota senator whose campaign received an unexpected boost over the holiday weekend when she and Massachusetts Senator Warren received endorsements from the New York Times, could suffer more than some others because she is less well-known.
Klobuchar bristled at Cipollone’s remark that senators were upset at not being in Iowa, saying on Twitter that attending the trial was her constitutional duty.The proceedings in the Republican-controlled Senate could take weeks, easily stretching into February.
