CONCORD, N.H. (AP) — Joe Biden is attacking two of his major 2020 Democratic presidential rivals as he campaigns in New Hampshire. Biden says if Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders is the Democratic nominee, every Democrat will be stuck with Sanders’ democratic socialist label. Biden says said he has “great respect” for the 38-year-old Pete Buttigieg, but that it’s a risk to nominate someone who’s only been a “mayor of a town of 100,000 people in Indiana.” Biden was campaigning in New Hampshire a day after Iowa released partial results of its caucuses, showing Biden trailing both Sanders and Buttigieg.
The Iowa Democratic Party has released additional results of its kickoff presidential caucus after a long day of delay. The early results show former Midwestern Mayor Pete Buttigieg with a slight lead over progressive Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders in the opening contest in the party’s 2020 primary season. The results late Tuesday followed 24 hours of chaos as technical issues marred the contest, forcing state officials to apologize and raising questions about Iowa’s traditional place atop the presidential primary calendar. It’s still too early to call a winner, but the results so far are not good news for former Vice President Joe Biden, who’s shown in fourth place behind Sen. Elizabeth Warren.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has had the last word on President Donald Trump’s State of the Union speech. As Trump finished speaking Tuesday night, Pelosi ripped up her copy behind him on camera. After Trump left, Pelosi waved what remained of the printed speech to her family in the gallery. The moment echoed Pelosi’s smirking clap last year in the same spot as the Republican president began his speech. But this time, he is on the brink of acquittal in a Senate impeachment trial, with the Republican Party behind him. The Democrats are in a difficult presidential nomination fight.
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump is on the verge of acquittal by the Senate. An afternoon vote will bring an end to only the third presidential impeachment trial in American history. One key Democrat, Alabama Sen. Doug Jones has now announced he will vote to convict. The impeachment vote comes at the start of a tumultuous campaign for the White House. Trump is eager to use the tally as vindication, a political anthem in his reelection bid. A majority of senators have expressed unease with Trump’s pressure campaign on Ukraine that resulted in the two articles of impeachment. But there’s nowhere near the two-thirds vote necessary in the Republican-held Senate to remove the president from office.
HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — Vice President Mike Pence is making a swing through Pennsylvania to tout the Trump administration’s support for funding tuition for private school students and, on the campaign side, to make an appeal to women voters. Wednesday’s visit includes U.S. Education Secretary Betsy DeVos and senior Trump adviser Kellyanne Conway, first in Philadelphia and later in suburban Harrisburg. The Philadelphia event is education-themed. Later, Pence will headline a “Women for Trump” campaign event in suburban Harrisburg. President Donald Trump was the first Republican presidential candidate since 1988 to win Pennsylvania, and the state is expected to be a premier battleground in this year’s election.
