'You Think Biden Can Do That?': Trump Campaigns During Farm Visit in Rural Iowa

Former president Donald Trump campaigned in rural Iowa on October 1, visiting farmers and delivering a fiery speech in Ottumwa.

This footage, filmed by Margo Martin – Trump’s deputy director of communications – shows Trump signing a John Deere combine harvester on a farm in Leighton, before he turns to the crowd and asks, “You think Biden can do that?”.

Earlier, Trump spoke at an event in Ottumwa in a bid to lock up support ahead of the Iowa caucus in early 2024.

“With your support on Monday, January 15, we’re going to win the caucuses in an historic landslide,” Trump told the packed hall on Sunday.
