Iowa has become a core focus of President Donald Trump’s 2024 presidential campaign apparatus as the caucuses approach.
In just one month, Iowans will spark the beginning of the primary season on Jan. 15, and Trump is not only visiting the Hawkeye State for multiple campaign events before the caucuses, but he’s also sending some of his strongest allies to fire up his base of supporters.
On Friday, Dec. 15, fiery Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fla., will deliver remarks in Cedar Rapids at an anticipated Team Trump Iowa Commit to Caucus event. He is expected to speak at 8:00 p.m. ET.
On Tuesday, Dec. 19, respected conservative leader, retired neurosurgeon, and the former U.S. Secretary of Housing and Urban Development Dr. Ben Carson will deliver remarks in Sioux City, Iowa, as part of the Team Trump Iowa Faith Tour. He will speak at the RiverzEdge Ministries at 2:00 p.m. ET.
The 45th president will also be traveling through Iowa on Dec. 19, where he is scheduled to speak at another caucus event in Waterloo at 7:00 p.m. ET.
Both Rep. Gaetz and Dr. Ben Carson have lent their sterling endorsements to President Trump in his 2024 presidential reelection bid and have proven to be staunch allies to the president.
Dr. Carson endorsed President Trump in October during a special campaign event at the Orpheum Theatre in Sioux City, stating, “As I stand here today, I’m going to offer my most confident and full endorsement of Donald J. Trump.”
Rep. Gaetz endorsed President Trump’s reelection bid last year, on the heels of his anticipated candidacy announcement in November 2022 at Mar-a-Lago.
In a glowing op-ed written for the Daily Caller, Rep. Gaetz explained in 2022, “Donald Trump started this and has no intention of being a retiree. He earned our trust by keeping his promises. America is broken under Biden. Trump alone can fix it.”
In the state of Iowa, Trump is heavily leading in the latest polls surveying prospective GOP caucus-goers. Per RSBN, the president has a historic 32-point lead over the Republican primary field with just four weeks to go until the caucuses, new data from the Des Moines Register/NBC News revealed.
