Donald Trump warned Tuesday of "very bad things" if Republicans lose the US midterm elections, as the US president kicked off a travel blitz under the shadow of unrest in Minneapolis and voter worries about the economy. At a rally in Iowa – one of the first stops for primary campaigns in US presidential elections – Trump said his party must win both the Senate and the House in November despite his own poor approval ratings.

"I'm here because I love Iowa, but I'm here because we're starting the campaign to win the midterms. Got to win the midterms," second-term president Trump said in his speech. "If we lose the midterms, you'll lose so many of the things that we're talking about, so many of the assets that we're talking about, so many of the tax cuts that we're talking about – and it would lead to very bad things."

In his Iowa speech, the 79-year-old president repeated his claims about a "Golden Age" in the United States and insisted prices were falling for most goods. But he admitted that it may be hard to convince voters in November's midterms, saying that in past elections "if something happens, the screw turns with the voters" no matter how good the president.

Trump returned to a familiar theme of talking about running for a constitutionally barred third term as president.

"Should we do it a fourth time?" he said, referring to his false claim to have won the 2020 election that he lost to Democrat Joe Biden, along with winning in 2016 and 2024.
