Key points
- President Trump visited Iowa farmers amid high energy prices and Republican struggles in upcoming elections.
- The president highlighted several programs to help farmers, including a $8 billion fuel relief program and a Defense Production Act waiver for diesel.
- Iowa Democrats have tried to capitalize on voters' wariness with the war, as polls show a neck-and-neck Senate contest between Trump-allied Republican Rep. Ashley Hinson and Democratic state Rep. Josh Turek.
If the programs to help farmers work, it could boost support for President Trump in the upcoming midterms.
If the programs don't work, it could hurt President Trump's chances in the midterms as voters blame the Iran war for high energy prices.
