President Trump is taking the America First message to the heartland. The President left the White House on Thursday afternoon for a midterm rally at Sioux Gateway Airport in Sioux City, Iowa, and said Patriots should expect even more stops before Election Day.
“We’re probably going to add a couple. It’s a lot of work, I will tell you,” the President told reporters before departing. “But I love the people.” He added that there was already a line in Iowa of people “trying to get into the arena.”
Iowa has plenty to celebrate. According to the White House, about 600,000 Iowa seniors now pay zero federal tax on their Social Security, thanks to the Working Families Tax Cuts, and Iowa families are seeing average tax refunds of $3,365. Iowa farmers harvested a record 2.77 billion bushels of corn in 2025, and the President delivered year-round E15, $833 million in emergency aid to 57,000 farmers, $867 million in bridge payments and a $500 million program to lower fertilizer costs.
Jobs and investment are pouring into the Hawkeye State, too. The White House points to $20 billion from John Deere, $7 billion from Google, $3 billion from Kraft Heinz and a $15 billion Mesabi project expected to create 1,750 jobs, plus a $1.9 billion loan to bring the Duane Arnold nuclear plant back online.
With early voting under way across the country, the President is crisscrossing America to keep the momentum going. Thursday night, Iowa gets its turn to hear directly from the leader who is delivering for farmers, seniors and working families.
