WASHINGTON, AP – President Donald Trump’s visit to Iowa planned for this Sunday, Nov. 1, has changed again.
According to officials with the Republican National Committee, Trump has now rescheduled his Sunday rally back to its original location, the Five Flags Event Center in Dubuque.
The newly rescheduled rally will have a different time than what was planned before it was cancelled on Thursday. Now, the president is scheduled to speak in Dubuque at 2 p.m. on Sunday.
Doors to the event will open at 10:30 a.m., with the event starting at 12:30 p.m. President Trump is slated to take the stage for his comments at 2 p.m.
The third change in plans by the president comes hours after the RNC announced Trump would be in Cedar Rapids on Sunday after the rescheduling weekend campaign rallies in a pair of critical Midwestern states that he had previously canceled.
There will be no rally in Cedar Rapids, officials with the RNC confirmed to KWWL News 7.
Trump will visit Iowa and Kansas for back-to-back campaign rallies on Sunday, said the person, who insisted on anonymity to discuss his schedule.
Both states are home to battleground Senate races that will help determine whether Republicans hold onto their majority in the chamber in the midterm elections.
The scheduling whiplash underscored the chaotic and shifting nature of the final days of the midterm campaigns, in which Trump and Republicans are scrambling to retain their majorities in Congress in an election that has turned largely on affordability issues and the president’s favorability. At the start of the month, Trump promised a marathon sprint of his signature rallies to shore up Republican candidates, and he has headlined 25 of them so far in October.
The Republican National Committee initially said in canceling the rallies that Trump would do telerallies instead to reach more voters. But the person familiar with the latest plans said the Iowa and Kansas rallies have been rearranged to accommodate the new telerallies added to Trump’s schedule.
