President Donald Trump traveled to Des Moines, Iowa on Tuesday to deliver a speech on the economy.
Trump says he will be traveling to events all across the nation as the midterm campaigns heat up, in an effort to help Republicans maintain control of the House and Senate.
Ahead of the event, the president made a stop at the Machine Shed restaurant in Urbandale, Iowa, a suburb of Des Moines, where he has received a rousing welcome. Trump took photos, signed hats, and spoke with reporters.
