Secretary of State Mike Pompeo's domestic travel fuels speculation about his political future
So on a bitter-cold Monday afternoon, Pompeo and his wife, Susan, warmed up over local grub at the no-frills grocery store. They chatted with locals, including a few National Guard members. There were no news camera crews and no photos tweeted out by the Secretary or the State Department. But the pit stop, in an important state to presidential politics, had the hallmarks of a political event. Iowa was just the first of three US states that Pompeo will visit in a matter of a month.
"It was all upside for him, there was no downside."Previous secretaries of state have made a concerted effort to explain their work to the American people, without placing too much of a focus on domestic travel."Secretary Kerry used to say that there should be nothing foreign to the American people about foreign policy," said John Kirby, a CNN analyst and the former spokesperson at the State Department.
