Democrats have made it clear they want to abolish the Electoral College so they never have to campaign in rural states like Iowa again.
Meanwhile, President Trump fights for Iowans with the USMCA trade deal and by working to improve access for rural broadband.
The USMCA preserves critical trade relationships and ensures Iowa’s farmers maintain access to soybean, pork, corn, beef, and dairy markets in Canada and Mexico.
As the nation’s top exporter of both corn and pork, and the second largest exporter of soybeans, access to these markets is critical for farmers in Iowa.
Bottom Line: Democrats should get on board with the USMCA to help Iowa’s farmers.
