What politicians are saying
Iowa Senator Chuck Grassley thanked Trump for visiting.
“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,” he shared.
Congresswoman Mariannette Miller-Meeks also welcomed Trump back to Iowa.
“I appreciate the President taking the time to hear directly from Iowans,” she shared in a statement. “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.”
