Vance Brings Trump Midterm Pitch To Iowa Voters
Vice President JD Vance traveled to Iowa to carry the president's midterm message to voters. Iowa is a bellwether state whose congressional races will help decide control of the House.
The outcome signals whether the administration's economic agenda still holds swing-state appeal a year after the election. A strong Democratic showing would erode Trump's legislative leverage and unsettle global markets.
Watch whether Vance's hawkish trade rhetoric hardens into concrete policy before November.
