Iowa Senator Joni Ernst hosted a gathering in Boone Saturday that featured Vice President Mike Pence – who made assurances that President Trump has made a “good start” on fulfilling his campaign promises.

 

Pence was the main draw for the third annual “Roast and Ride” fundraiser hosted by Senator Ernst.  She led a three-mile-long trail of more than 500 motorcyclists on a ride from Des Moines to Boone, then from the “main event” stage she praised her fellow Iowa Republicans for their role in the 2016 campaign.

 

Pence had planned to host a fundraiser of his own in central Iowa on Saturday, before the Ernst event, but a death in the Pence family delayed his arrival in Iowa. When Pence did get to the outdoor venue in Boone Saturday afternoon, the vice president climbed aboard a Harley Davidson and rode the motorcycle to the stage alongside Ernst.
