Democratic presidential candidates like Joe Biden are traversing Iowa Friday, days before an all-important vote launches the party’s nomination contest. But three high-profile hopefuls are unprecedentedly absent, tethered to Donald Trump’s impeachment trial as rivals court undecided voters. Warren was forced to cancel her appearance at two Friday campaign events, in Sioux City and Ames, “due to the schedule for impeachment,” her campaign said. Sanders will miss his Iowa events Friday but he too will have stand-ins, including two liberal congresswomen, Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib. The Senate is to hold a vote Friday on whether more witnesses should appear at Trump’s impeachment trial.
