Former President Donald Trump boarded his plane in West Palm Beach, Florida, on Monday to head to Iowa, where he will be announcing his leadership team for the eastern part of the state for the 2024 election.
This will be Trump’s first trip to Iowa since launching his third presidential bid in November. He remains the frontrunner for the Republican presidential nomination in 2024, national polling shows.
“Today, President Donald J. Trump announced his Eastern Iowa Leadership Team, demonstrating support from the most conservative and influential Republican leaders in a key region of the Hawkeye State. Since President Trump’s historic 2016 election, Iowa has fundamentally transformed from a swing state to a reliable MAGA stronghold,” a statement Trump’s campaign released before he boarded the plane reads. “President Trump’s America First Policies continue to resonate with the men and women of Eastern Iowa and will propel him to an overwhelming victory in the First-in-the-Nation Caucuses.”
