FORT DODGE, Iowa–Hours before former President Donald Trump took the stage here, his campaign sent out a text message declaring his intent: “I’m in Iowa today to wrap up the primary.”

Speaking to a full house of about 3,000 people at the Fort Dodge Senior High School gymnasium on Nov. 18, the former president reminded folks that the Hawkeye State’s first-in-nation caucuses were just 58 days away. “All over the world, they’re going to be watching this,” he said, adding, “We want to make sure we have a big victory.”
