— Donald J. Trump endorsed a slate of Republican candidates in Iowa, urging his supporters to vote for a ticket that includes Ashley Hinson for the U.S. Senate and Zach Lahn for governor.

The endorsement features a campaign graphic listing seven candidates running in the midterm elections, directing voters to a dedicated website for the state. The roster includes Brenna Bird for attorney general alongside four candidates for the U.S. House of Representatives.

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."
