DES MOINES President-elect Donald Trumps victory tour includes a scheduled stop in Iowa.
Trump and Vice President-elect Mike Pence are scheduled to hold a rally Thursday at the Iowa Events Center in downtown Des Moines, the Trump campaign confirmed Friday.
Trump has been visiting various cities to celebrate his election victory and rally supporters across the country. He started the tour this week in Cincinnati and has another scheduled stop in North Carolina.
Trump won Iowa by nearly 10 percentage points en route to his Nov. 8 election victory over Democrat Hillary Clinton. Back in February, Trump finished second in the Iowa Republican caucuses to U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas.
Trump made a strong play for Iowa during the general election, appearing at seven events over six campaign trips here, according to the National Journals campaign tracker.
During his final campaign stop in Iowa, in Sioux City on the Sunday before the election, Trump told supporters there was an urgency to the election.
As our country, this is never going to happen again, he said at that event. This is your last chance to make our country truly, truly great again.
Iowa Democrats, in anticipation of Trumps victory tour visit, said Thursday at a news conference that they think their role under President-elect Trump is to hold his administration accountable.
Were asking for (Trump) to start acting like the president-elect and less like candidate Trump, Nate Boulton, an incoming Iowa state senator, said at a news conference at a Des Moines union hall. I think thats the point that were trying to make here: Going around doing continued rallies and continued tweeting seems to feel like a campaign more. We want to see that transition into governing and governing responsibly.
Thursdays event is scheduled for 7 p.m. at Hy-Vee Hall in the Iowa Events Center. Free, first-come, first-served tickets are available at Trumps campaign website, donaldjtrump.com.
Has any President done this before? Actually returned and shared the victory with the People? As far as I can remember Obama and Bush didn’t care one dime about doing anything like this until they wanted their Ass re-elected.
Its the mark of a decent and humble man who shares the glory of victory.
“Its the mark of a decent and humble man who shares the glory of victory.”
That is how I see it. He is thanking the people who voted for him. Yes a decent and humble man.

I think Nate is clueless. Trump is continuing the bond with his voters.
Hope that fat nevertrump turd Steve Deace gets to stand outside and listen on the speakers
No words. What a stupid statement. Go worry about your own responsible governing.
And an incoming state senator from a medium-small state has a lot to go on to advise the president of the world’s only superpower.
Boulton is just some Des Moines Dem Commie nutter.

Boulton is a state senator, and an azzcap
Ignore him and his drivel
LOL! I wonder if they thought to admonish candidate Obama ....
Campaigning is part of governing when there is an agenda to get through. Obama just campaigned so that he could get to play golf
