Former President Donald Trump participated in a town hall event in Davenport, Iowa, hosted by Sean Hannity. The event attracted hundreds of potential voters, many of whom expressed their support for Trump and praised his impact on the judiciary and the economy. Some attendees also mentioned Florida governor Ron DeSantis as a potential candidate. However, not everyone in attendance supported Trump, with one protestor expressing concerns about Trumpism.

The event was streamed live on FoxNews.com and simulcast on Fox News Radio. A valid cable subscription was required to watch the live stream, but the radio broadcast was free. Recent polling shows Trump with a 27-point lead in Iowa.

Despite the support, Trump's comments during the town hall raised concerns among some observers. He declined to rule out abusing power if he returns to the White House, a statement that has alarmed Democrats. Trump's campaign rhetoric and plans for a second term have been criticized by Democrats, who argue that he is determined to destroy American democracy.

After the event, Trump visited Front Street Brewery in downtown Davenport. The press was not allowed inside the town hall, so the details of the discussion between Hannity and Trump are unknown.
