President Donald Trump and former Vice President Joe Biden will both be in Iowa on Tuesday.
Polls show a tight race in a hypothetical match-up between Trump and Biden -- making Iowa an important swing state for both parties.Biden will make his second trip to Iowa since announcing his presidential run back in April, making his pitch to voters during three events Tuesday across eastern Iowa. Biden’s remarks, released early by the campaign, mark some of Biden’s most pointed attacks of the president -- mentioning his name 44 times, and hitting Trump for his tariff policy and the impact it has on Iowa farmers and manufacturers.
But while Biden has been eager to take on the president in his campaign, he's largely stayed away from large gatherings with his fellow 2020 rivals. The last time Biden ran for president in 2008, Iowa provided the final blow to the Delaware senator's campaign. Biden dropped out of the race one day after the Iowa caucus, after failing to receive 1% of the vote.
Iowa, known for its first-in-the-nation caucus, will still hold a GOP caucus in 2020 -- giving Republican voters an opportunity to vote against the president. It's set to be busy week for the Republican Party, with not only a stop from the president but also former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley, who will also be in town for a fundraiser for Sen. Joni Ernst, R-Iowa.
A reversal and a rejoiceThe former vice president will have to get past his 22 other opponents before facing off with the current president but Biden's recent shift to the left on an anti-abortion measure has raised questions on Biden's primary strategy, and have the Trump campaign ready to pounce.
