Former President Donald Trump cruised into the Iowa State Fair Saturday as the established front-runner for the GOP presidential nomination, seeking to draw attention away from his competitors and lock down support ahead of the 2024 caucuses.

The Register was on the ground with Trump while he visited. Here's what happened during his latest trip to the Hawkeye State. Trump's private jet, called "Trump Force One," buzzed over the fairgrounds as Texas businessman Ryan Binkley spoke at the Des Moines Register's Political Soapbox, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis flipped pork at the Iowa Pork Producers tent, former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley toured the animal barns and entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy stopped for ice cream with Iowa Agriculture Secretary Mike Naig.

A group of Trump supporters near the pork tent let out cheers as the plane flew overhead. Trump's plane touched down at the Des Moines International Airport, and Trump emerged in a blue suit with no tie.
