Vance gets a chance to woo Iowa GOP voters ahead of 2028 in a campaign stop with a congressman

Vice President JD Vance visited Iowa to campaign for Republican Rep. Zach Nunn, who faces a competitive race in the November midterms. Vance's visit to Iowa, a state that hosts the first caucuses in the presidential nomination process, gives him an opportunity to test his reception with GOP voters. Vance is seen as a potential GOP candidate for the 2028 presidential election. He appeared with Nunn at a manufacturing facility in Des Moines. Vance's office did not comment on the trip's impact on his political future. The visit follows a trip by President Donald Trump to Iowa in January to discuss economic issues ahead of the midterm elections.
