Statewide Iowa — (RI) — Iowa Senator Joni Ernst says there could be a push for the leader of the Senate to bring up a vote on the U-S-Mexico-Canada Agreement before the end of the year, but she says the timing doesn’t look good.
Ernst is a Republican from Red Oak and says Democratic leaders in the House are to blame for delaying action on the trade deal until now.
Ernst says the impeachment trial will take up time along with budget issues. She says she hasn’t seen anything that has swayed her opinion on impeachment.
Ernst says the witnesses called by House Democrats all talked about things they heard secondhand or third hand and wasn’t really based on factual evidence.
Ernst says the people she hears from in Iowa only have one concern about the impeachment trial.
Ernst made her comments during her weekly conference call with reporters.
