With nearly 43 percent of the state's vote, Trump holds a commanding lead over GOP candidates Ron DeSantis and Nikki Haley, who trail behind with 16 percent and 15 percent respectively. During his speech, Trump took aim at President Joe Biden, accusing him of being "owned by China" and having a weak foreign policy when it comes to dealing with the Chinese Communist Party.
Referring to the recent Asian-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit in San Francisco, Trump criticized Biden, saying, "This week, Crooked Joe was in San Francisco for a summit with China, looking like he had no idea where he was, what was happening, or what he was supposed to do." He then posed a question to the audience, asking, "Every voter needs to ask themselves, who do you want sitting across that table from President Xi, President Putin, and Chairman Kim Jong Un for the next four years? Do you want Crooked Joe Biden, or do you want President Donald J. Trump?"

Trump referred to Biden as a "Manchurian candidate" and vowed that the White House would be taken back from his "Crooked hands" on November 5th, 2024.

Trump highlighted his tough stance on China, stating, "I took on Communist China like no administration in history—bringing hundreds of billions of dollars pouring into our treasury when no other president had gotten even 10 cents from China. I then gave the farmers $28 billion dollars straight out of the tariffs I took in from China, a large part of which came to the great state of Iowa."
