(Radio Iowa) – President Donald Trump’s idea of giving his acceptance speech for the Republican nomination for president from the White House has drawn some criticism. Republican Senator Joni Ernst was asked about it today (Thursday) on her conference call with reporters.

Another reporter asked Ernst again after her first answer.

Ernst was also asked about when another federal coronavirus relief package may get done. She says Democrats don’t want to negotiate — and cited the extension of the federal unemployment as an example.

Ernst says nothing can happen if Democrats don’t want to discuss the issue.

Ernst is from Red Oak and is running for her second term in the U-S Senate.
