President Trump is scheduled to visit Iowa on Tuesday as part of a White House effort to focus on affordability ahead of the midterm elections. While in Iowa, Trump will visit a local business and deliver a speech on affordability at the Horizon Events Center in Clive, a suburb of Des Moines. The trip will also highlight energy policy as part of a broader strategy to have Trump travel weekly to address affordability issues. This visit comes as the Trump administration faces fallout from the fatal shooting of an ICU nurse in Minnesota by federal agents. Republicans hope the Iowa visit will refocus attention on the GOP's tax bill and other key issues as they seek to maintain power in November.
