Trump launches his fall push in Iowa to lock in his lead before the first Republican caucuses

Associated Press  

MAQUOKETA, Iowa — Donald Trump began a fall press Wednesday to lock in thousands of Republican caucusgoers in early-voting Iowa, where the former president faces sky-high expectations in his campaign for a White House comeback. “In less than four months from now, we’re going to win the Iowa caucuses in a historic landslide,” Trump predicted as he addressed a crowd of more than 1,000 people in small-town Maquoketa. Trump handed out boxed pizzas to the crowd of cheering supporters, who screamed his name and sang along to Lee Greenwood’s “God Bless the U.S.A.” Trump has visited Iowa seven times this year, headlining policy and political events, and he stopped by his campaign office in July. “The truth is Trump has an enduring lead in Iowa,” said Republican strategist David Kochel, a veteran Iowa and national Republican strategist who has advised several presidential campaigns.
