In Iowa, Trump rallies base, celebrates GOP resilience
CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa — Struggling to advance his agenda in Washington, President Donald Trump travelled to the Midwest on Wednesday for a raucous rally with his loyal supporters — the kind of event he relished before winning the White House.
Trump touched down Wednesday evening in rainy Cedar Rapids, Iowa, and headed to a local community college, where he got a look at agriculture technology innovations before leading a campaign rally.
He reveled in Georgia Republican Karen Handel’s congressional victory in an election viewed as an early referendum on his presidency.
“We’re 5-0 in special elections,” Trump said in front of a boisterous crowd that packed a downtown arena. “The truth is, people love us … they haven’t figured it out yet.”
