Trial Balloon · Ep. 190: Trump Is Everywhere

Trump Returns to Iowa

September 20, 2023 · 7:45 am ET · Leave a Comment

“Even as former President Donald Trump faces a crowded field of Republican primary challengers, he has kept a relatively light campaign schedule, particularly in Iowa, the first state to hold a nominating contest in the 2024 election,” the New York Times reports.

“But with less than four months until Iowa’s caucuses, Mr. Trump and his team are beginning a more concerted effort to lock up his support there, starting with two events on Wednesday in eastern Iowa that represent the first of five planned visits to the state over the next six weeks.”

“The increased pace of Mr. Trump’s Iowa visits, along with a six-figure advertising purchase by a super PAC supporting him, suggest a more concerted effort by his campaign and supporters to halt his rivals before any can gain momentum and pose a threat.”

CNN: Trump ramps up attention on Iowa even as he keeps one eye on the general election.
