Joe Biden to Iowa Democrats: Ruin Joni Ernst's night by caucusing for me

MUSCATINE, Ia. — Former Vice President Joe Biden said U.S. Sen. Joni Ernst "spilled the beans" when she questioned whether the impeachment trial of President Donald Trump might make Iowa Democrats decide against caucusing for Biden.

"By the way, did anyone see what your senator, Joni Ernst, did yesterday? She spilled the beans," he said at a campaign stop in Muscatine on Tuesday morning. "She just came out and flat said it. You know, the whole impeachment trial for Trump is just a political hit job to try to smear me, because he is scared to death to run against me and he has good reason to be concerned."

Then he read out loud the comments Ernst made to reporters in Washington, D.C. Monday.

"Iowa caucuses, folks. Iowa caucuses are this next Monday evening and I’m really interested to see how this discussion today informs and influences the Iowa caucus voters," Ernst said. "Those democratic caucusgoers, will they be supporting Vice President Biden at this point?"
