- Democratic presidential hopeful Bernie Sanders on Tuesday scrapped three Iowa campaign appearances scheduled for this week, as he and the other U.S. senators running for president remained in Washington for President Donald Trump’s impeachment trial.
Sanders is one of four Democratic senators running for president who must now divert from the campaign trail and return to Washington, a wrinkle in campaign plans that each is trying to offset using surrogates and intense weekend schedules. The Senate is expected to work six days a week during the trial, and senators must sit as jurors. The proceedings could take weeks and easily stretch into February, overlapping with the first nominating contest to be held in Iowa on Feb. 3.
