Update: Trump rally confirmed at Five Flags on Sunday; Dubuque County party chairs react

DUBUQUE, Iowa (RDN) - President Donald Trump's Sunday rally in Dubuque is confirmed for the Five Flags Center in downtown Dubuque, according to KCRG, capping a 24-hour stretch that saw the campaign call off the stop late Thursday before confirming Friday it was back on. Campaign officials did not give a reason for the reversal. KCRG reports doors at the Five Flags Center open at 10:30 a.m. Sunday, with the event beginning at 12:30 p.m. and Trump scheduled to speak at 2 p.m. Attendees are required to register online for an RSVP through the campaign before arriving. Nicholas Molo, chairman of the Dubuque County Republican Party, said pocketbook issues remain the primary driver of voter concern, pointing to sticky prices after inflation. "Obviously, affordability is top of mind," Molo said. He called the rally an important momentum driver for local Republicans, saying Dubuque County turnout matters "up the chain" to the Hinson and Mitchell races. Dubuque County Democratic Party Chair Eli Licht agreed families are feeling the squeeze, citing fuel, groceries, housing, and healthcare. "When our own president says that prices are high and it's a price we just have to pay, that's not in touch with the current American," Licht said. Licht said the rally has energized local Democrats to focus on direct voter contact. KCRG's report does not say whether the previously announced Monday phone-in rally for Iowa is still on.
