This Impeachment mess is only serving to further divide our country. Folks in Iowa want to see us getting work done. This is not helpful to that. We need to get back to the people’s business.

Actually, American elections should be decided by ELECTIONS. Not politicians. I know you’re still upset about the results from 2016, but people here in Iowa would sure appreciate it if you spent less time playing political games and actually brought #USMCAnow up for a vote.

Republicans are now refusing to answer the simplest question: whether it’s acceptable for a president to pressure foreign countries to undermine our elections. American elections should be decided by Americans, not by “favors” from foreign governments.
