Joni Ernst to President Trump: Accept the Republican nomination in Des Moines, not the White House

U.S. Sen. Joni Ernst said Thursday that President Donald Trump should not accept the Republican Party's presidential nomination from the White House, as he has suggested.

And she had an alternative in mind: Des Moines.

"I really think it should be done in Des Moines, Iowa. That makes total sense to me," Ernst, a first-term Republican who is up for re-election this year, said on a conference call with reporters. "We’re a state that would largely support Trump, and of course we could really use that economic boom. Just send President Trump in, and we’ll find a place for him to give his acceptance speech."

Trump won Iowa by more than 9 percentage points in 2016, but a June Des Moines Register/Mediacom Iowa Poll showed the president leading former Vice President Joe Biden by just 1 point, well within the poll's margin of error.
