DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Former President Donald Trump plans to attend Saturday's football game between Iowa State University and the University of Iowa, his campaign said.
The game, hosted this year by the Iowa State Cyclones in Ames, is the marquee sporting event in the state, which is scheduled to host the leadoff Republican presidential nominating caucuses in January. The visit will mark Trump's sixth trip to the state this year.
Biotech entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy, who is among a dozen challengers to Trump for the 2024 GOP nomination, also plans to attend the Iowa State-Iowa game, his campaign said.
