President Donald Trump appeared in Dubuque, Iowa, on Sunday as part of his final campaign push before Tuesday's midterm election. The Daily Beast reported that demonstrators outside the visit taunted and jeered Trump and displayed protest signs.

PBS NewsHour said the Dubuque appearance was Trump's first scheduled stop Sunday and came as Republicans sought to retain a Senate seat and the governor's office in Iowa. The Daily Beast said Trump had initially planned to cancel the trip Thursday and appear through a telerally, but later changed that decision and attended in person. Trump was also scheduled to campaign in other locations before Election Day.
