Trump to rally in Iowa ahead of Nov. 8 as he teases 2024 AP Yahoo!News

"DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Former President Donald Trump is scheduled to return to Iowa ahead of the Nov. 8 midterms, to headline a rally for Republican Gov. Kim Reynolds and Sen. Chuck Grassley, Trump's organization announced Wednesday.

The event, set for Nov. 3 in Sioux City, the hub of Iowa's conservative northwest, comes as Trump has continued to tease interest in a White House comeback campaign as he has campaigned around the country for Republican candidates.

Returning to Iowa, where the 2024 Republican presidential caucuses are scheduled to launch the GOP nominating sequence, would likely further stoke speculation of Trump's future.

It would be Trump's second trip to Iowa since the 2020 election, coming a year after he drew thousands to the Iowa state fairgrounds in Des Moines. It also comes as other would-be 2024 Republican contenders, including former Vice President Mike Pence and former Trump administration appointees Nikki Haley and Mike Pompeo, have visited the state on behalf of Iowa Republicans in recent weeks."

It's a close race, and Trump has net negatives in Iowa. An Qff-the-rails rally could move undecideds over to Franken.

The only question is...

In a crowded primary, will anyone be able to beat him?

I mean if Trump is at 25% support and everyone else is .000001% (Cheney) or 15% (DeSantis) can anyone beat Trump?

After January 6th he should have been banned from holding public office ever again.

Even if he were convicted of a crime, even treason... there's a Constitutional question because the qualifications in the Constitution are clear.

Something about they were afraid Trump would not pay? Sound familiar? That is why he had to moved one his rallies to Council Bluffs at the last minute? In fact, I think Council Bluffs is waiting for their payment?
