The trial has upended other plans on the campaign trail ahead of the Iowa caucus on Feb. 3. Sanders’s campaign announced on Tuesday that it was canceling a rally scheduled for Wednesday due to the trial.
“Sen. Sanders will not be able to attend tomorrow’s rally due to the impeachment schedule in the U.S. Senate,” the campaign’s statement said. “However, Rep.

The senators running for president are taking full advantage of their surrogates, as well as using the weekend to travel to Iowa.

Meanwhile, Ocasio-Cortez and progressive filmmaker Michael Moore are slated to join Sanders in Iowa on Sunday.
