Trump heads to Iowa to rally ahead of midterms with focus on economy, energy issues

President Trump will hold a rally in Iowa on Tuesday ahead of the midterm elections, where he is expected to address economic and energy issues, such as rising home values and declining gas prices.Trump is set to speak in Clive, Iowa, at the Horizon Events Center starting at 3 p.m. local time, KCRG reported.
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt told the news outlet that Trump will also be visiting local businesses and meeting with lawmakers.
Iowa GOP Sen. Chuck Grassley thanked Trump for visiting, saying, “In 2024, Iowans voted overwhelmingly to return President Trump to the White House to lower costs for families, to secure the border and to bring down crime. Since then, Republicans have been delivering on those promises.”
Rep. Mariannette Miller-Meeks, R-Iowa, said in a statement, “I appreciate the President taking the time to hear directly from Iowans. I look forward to joining him and highlighting the work we’ve done to deliver the largest tax cuts in American history for working and middle-class families, while continuing our focus on lowering costs and strengthening the economy.”
Trump said last week that his message for Iowa was “straight to the farmers,” noting the billions of dollars his administration made available as bridge payments to farmers negatively affected by tariff policies, NPR reported.
“You know, the farmers like Trump, and I like the farmers,” Trump said. “The farmers have been very special to me. Very successful.”
