Biden announces more judicial nominees, outpacing all presidents since Kennedy

Although Biden is not popular in Iowa, even some Republicans said Tuesday’s event — with the president announcing a move that will help the state’s farmers — could boost the congresswoman.

“This is a big deal especially for Cindy Axne,” said Lance Lillibridge, president of the Iowa Corn Growers Association. Lillibridge, a Republican farmer from Vinton, cheered Biden’s announcement Tuesday as a victory for farmers and consumers, saying it would inject more stability into the corn market and ease farmers’ ability to plan for the year ahead.
