Former President Donald Trump campaigned in southeast Iowa on Sunday in the middle of a fall campaign push aimed at locking in supporters with large organizing events.
As he has with his other recent travels to the leadoff caucus state, Trump stumped in an area that formerly supported Democrats but has embraced him, as the influence trade unions once held has shrunk and lost voters to Republicans.
"With your support on Monday, Jan. 15, we're going to win the caucuses in an historic landslide," Trump told the packed event hall in Ottumwa Sunday. Rick Anderson and his wife Nancy, who were filing into the hall, are the kind of voters whom Trump's campaign would like to persuade to caucus for the candidate Jan. 15. They used to vote Democrat but switched in 2016 to support Trump. They have not attended Iowa's Republican precinct caucuses in the past.
Trump later traveled with his motorcade 40 miles northeast to Leighton, Iowa, where he visited a soybean farm. There, he autographed a John Deere combine and touted his administration's trade policy as a boon for farmers, even as Mexico and Canada seek to renegotiate the 2020 United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement.
