ANKENY, Iowa—During his father’s first presidential run in 2016, Eric Trump remembered saying in Iowa, “Somebody here has to tell me what exactly a caucus is, because I still can’t quite figure it out.”

On Thursday, speaking to a standing-room-only crowd of about 300 Iowans at the Future Farmers of America Enrichment Center, the son of former President Donald Trump said he and his family are now battle-scarred political veterans.
