Branstad To Resign As Ambassador To China To Help Trump Campaign

U.S. Ambassador to China Terry Branstad is stepping down to work on the Donald Trump re-election campaign. Branstad’s popularity in Iowa, having served as Governor for over two decades, is seen as an asset to Trump. Branstad will resign and leave China early next month. Branstad was previously the longest-serving Governor of Iowa, a state that helped elect Trump in 2016.
