Trump Announces Two Iowa Campaign Rallies Ahead of Midterm Elections
Trump plans to visit Iowa on October 22 and November 1 to support Republican candidates in highly competitive congressional and statewide races.
WASHINGTON D.C. — Donald J. Trump will hold two campaign rallies in Iowa to boost Republican candidates ahead of the midterm elections. The visits aim to support key GOP contenders in highly competitive congressional and statewide races, though specific locations remain unannounced. Here is the full post on Truth Social: “Hello Iowa!
I am going to be coming to your Great State, which I won in Landslides all three times, with the Highest Vote ever obtained by a Political Candidate (for any Office!), on Thursday, October 22nd, and Sunday, November 1st. The reason I’ll be there is to get truly fantastic Warriors elected, including Ashley Hinson for U.S. Senate, Zach Lahn for Governor, Mariannette Miller-Meeks for Iowa’s 1st Congressional District, Joe Mitchell for the 2nd District, Zach Nunn for the 3rd District, and Chris McGowan for the 4th District — They are all spectacular people, and have my Complete and Total Endorsement.
I will see you on October 22nd, and again on November 1st, where we will have two spectacular Rallies honoring all of the above — and more. THANK YOU IOWA FOR YOUR GREAT SUPPORT — I WILL NEVER LET YOU DOWN, AND NEITHER WILL ANY OF OUR GREAT REPUBLICAN CANDIDATES! Trump” on October 15, 2026 at 7:17 PM ET. This is Trump’s 18th message released today, and the last post was 2 hours ago, and it is not part of a thread. On average, Trump produces 17 posts per day since his inauguration on January 20, 2025. The move fits a broader pattern in Trump’s recent messaging, with 82 of his 560 posts over the last 30 days classified as Elections posts.

President Trump is the author of The Art of the Deal, Think Like a Billionaire, and Think Big. Analyst and Trump supporter Rod Martin points to The Art of the Deal, Trump's 1987 book, as an explanation of his deal-making philosophy: making big announcements, pivoting often in public statements and, Martin says, ultimately getting what he wanted all along. Critics contend that Trump's books were published decades ago or were aimed at making money, not shedding light. "Generally," Martin said, "critics don't read The Art of the Deal. If they did, they would understand."
