REAL DUBUQUE NEWS (RDN)
President Donald Trump will hold a midterm rally in Dubuque on Sunday, Nov. 1, two days before Election Day, the Republican Party of Iowa announced Thursday evening.
According to the RNC event page, doors open at 11:30 a.m., the program begins at 1:30 p.m. and Trump's remarks are set for 3 p.m. CT, at the Five Flags Event Center. Tickets are free through the RNC events page, with a maximum of four per signup and a phone confirmation required to complete registration.
The Dubuque stop closes Trump's two-rally Iowa swing in the final stretch of the midterm campaign, following his Oct. 22 rally in Sioux City. Both rallies back the Iowa Republican slate, led by U.S. Senate nominee Ashley Hinson and governor nominee Zach Lahn.
The date carries a local echo: Trump's last rally in Dubuque was also on Nov. 1, in 2020, when he spoke at Dubuque Regional Airport on the final weekend of that campaign.
This updates the Oct. 22 announcement, which listed evening times and no venue. The venue and adjusted times were confirmed by Radio Dubuque on Oct. 27.
