CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa (AP) — Donald Trump is calling for a show of strength in Iowa, arguing before big audiences that dominating in the Republican presidential caucuses in January would signal to voters around the country his strength in the November election next year. Trump’s afternoon stops in Waterloo and Cedar Rapids were his third and fourth in a little more than two weeks, part of a stepped-up campaign schedule. Late-summer polls of likely GOP caucus attendees showed Trump well ahead of his opponents. Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis hopes to reignite attention with a stepped-up Iowa campaign and former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley is seeking to seize on new interest since the two GOP presidential debates.
