Vice President Vance campaigns in Iowa for Republican House candidate ahead of midterm elections

The trip, which included stops in Oklahoma for fundraising and Ohio for voting, also served as an early test of Vance's standing with Iowa voters ahead of the state's 2028 presidential caucuses. Vance acknowledged economic challenges including rising energy and fertilizer costs while defending the Trump administration's record.
