Donald Trump, the former Republican president, plans to hold a Save America rally at the Iowa State Fairgrounds on Oct. 9, according to his SaveAmerica45 organization.
It would be Trump’s first appearance in Iowa since the 2020 election.
Trump came in second, behind Texas U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz, in the 2016 Iowa Republican caucuses before going on to win the presidency. In 2020, he lost his re-election bid to President Joe Biden.
Trump has not yet said whether he plans to run for president again in 2024. His return to Iowa, the first-in-the-nation caucus state, will fuel that speculation.
Ticket information is available at this web page. According to the event timeline, doors will open at 2 p.m. with live entertainment with pre-program speakers delivering remarks at 5 p.m. and Trump addressing the Save America Rally at 7 p.m.
