Published Wed, 05 Mar 2025 18:06:28 GMT

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Donald Trump predicted Sunday he would win Iowa’s Republican presidential caucuses in January, tossing aside what he called advisers’ caution not to overstate expectations, even as he greeted his audience by naming a city in a neighboring state. “I go around saying of course we’re going to win Iowa.

And yet, when Trump took the stage he gave a hearty hello to a city more than 80 miles north, and over the South Dakota state line. “Hello to a place where we’ve done very well, Sioux Falls. Thank you very much,” he said, before correcting himself several minutes later.It was Trump’s eighth campaign event in Iowa in a little more than a month, part of the for...
