RED OAK, Iowa (AP) – The Latest on Democrats’ national bus tour (all times local):

1:35 p.m.

The Democrats’ national bus tour is motoring through Iowa, targeting vulnerable House Republicans who voted to repeal Obamacare.

The ultimate goal for the party is upending the GOP majority in next year’s midterm elections.

The vote against the Obama health care law looms large for 21 GOP lawmakers, including Iowa congressmen David Young and Rod Blum, who represent competitive congressional districts where Democrat Hillary Clinton won or came close in last year’s presidential election.
