President Donald Trump spoke in Clive yesterday, making his first Iowa stop of the midterm election season. Trump spoke for nearly an hour to a crowd at an events center, reviewing his first year back in the White House and focusing on this year’s mid-term elections. “If we lose the midterms, you’ll lose so many of the things we’re talking about, so many of the assets that we’re talking about, so many of the tax cuts that we’re talking about,” Trump said. “…I mean, I’m here because I love Iowa, but I’m here because we’re starting the campaign to win the midterms. You’ve got to win the midterms.”
Second District Congresswoman Ashley Hinson, who’s running for the U-S Senate, and Third District Congressman Zach Nunn of Ankeny spoke to the crowd before Trump arrived. A protester inside for Trump’s speech yelled “Release the files!” — a reference to the files related to convicted sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein — and was escorted out by police.
