With a month on go before the Iowa caucuses, Democratic candidate Tom Steyer visits northwest Iowa.
The billionaire hedge fund manager spoke to a crowd of about 100 Thursday night in Sioux City. He reiterated his stance on President Trump, by calling him fraud and a failure.
“He played a business person on a reality TV show. He has been terrible to the people of the United State economically and especially terrible to the people of Iowa.”
Steyer says Trump is a politician with a history of taking down traditional and top candidates. However, Steyer believes he can compete with Trump when it comes to the economy.
He called the president’s tax plan, the single-worse piece of legislation.
“A trillion-dollar give-away to the richest people and the corporations that you know will come out of the hides of the working class in the future.”
Steyer claims voter turnout is key for the Democrats to win the White House in November.
“We’re going to show up because our whole future is at stake. We’re going to show up hell or high water and get rid of these guys. That’s what’s going to happen in 2020.”
Steyer says while some of his Democratic opponents focus on criticizing each other, he keeps to the issues, with climate change still his number one priority.
Steyer was in Sheldon Friday morning before opening a campaign office in Spirit Lake today.

A group representing Nebraska public-school teachers is pushing once again for a state law that would allow educators to physically restrain violent students who pose an imminent threat.
The Nebraska State Education Association released a survey of its members Thursday in which teachers reported getting bruises, cuts, torn ligaments, a broken nose and concussions from students.
At least one educator said she was hit in the stomach while pregnant. The group has repeatedly asked lawmakers for legal protections over the last few years, but the measures have stalled.
Opponents argue that such a law could be used disproportionately against minority students and students with disabilities.
