Trump holding Iowa rally at must-stop along road to White House
Fox News
One of former President Trump’s top advisers in Iowa says “there was no question” about where to hold Trump’s first rally since last November’s election in the state whose caucuses for half a century have kicked off the presidential nominating calendar. And that location is the Iowa State Fairgrounds in Des Moines.
"The great thing about the Iowa State Fair – we’ve got plenty of parking, plenty of space. President has been here before. He loves the Iowa State Fair. What better place and what better set up than what we have here right now," Trump political adviser and veteran GOP operative Eric Branstad told Fox News on the eve of Saturday’s rally.
But more than the logistics, there’s plenty of political precedent for holding Saturday’s rally at the fairgrounds.
