Trump to Campaign in Iowa Twice Before 2026 Election

The visits come as Iowa’s governor, House and Senate races have drawn tens of millions of dollars in advertising, officials said.

  • President Donald Trump will visit Iowa twice to campaign ahead of the Nov. 3, 2026 election, with rallies scheduled for Thursday, October 22, and Sunday, November 1, according to the Republican Party of Iowa.
  • Trump's upcoming campaign stops aim to bolster Republican candidates in competitive midterm races where the party currently faces unexpected vulnerability in the state.
  • Recent New York Times/Siena polling shows 58% of likely Iowa voters disapprove of Trump's job performance, though state data indicates Republicans maintain about 180,000 more registered voters than Democrats.
  • Analysts at Cook Political Report rate Iowa's 1st and 3rd Districts as 'leaning' toward Democrats, while the U.S. Senate race between Republican Ashley Hinson and Democrat Josh Turek remains a toss-up.
  • Iowa Republican Party Chairman Jeff Kaufmann stated Trump has "a huge role to fill" in motivating the base, as GOP leaders emphasize tax-cutting measures and immigration enforcement to secure majorities.
