CNN
Sen. Tom Cotton of Arkansas blamed President Joe Biden for porous borders, waning support for police officers and "a crime wave of unprecedented proportions" Tuesday night in Iowa.
Cotton joined the ranks of prospective 2024 Republican presidential candidates to make early visits Tuesday when he appeared at a state GOP event at Jim Dean's Classic Car Museum in Sioux Center, in Iowa's northwestern corner. The stop was punctuated by an only-in-Iowa ending: Cotton and longtime Republican Sen. Chuck Grassley went through Grassley's workout routine onstage, doing 22 push-ups face-to-face while the state's other Republican senator, Joni Ernst, counted them off.More Related News
