Iowa Rep. Steven Holt Calls for Trump’s Addition to Mount Rushmore as He ‘Saves the Republic’
Iowa state Representative Steven Holt declared on Wednesday that he would “love to consider” adding President Donald Trump to Mount Rushmore, arguing the president is actively engaged in a battle to save the republic and remains popular across Iowa.
Holt stated that Trump has delivered on his campaign promises and advanced “common-sense conservative policies” resonating with Iowans. He described the state as “Trump country,” emphasizing voters support traditional values and principles foundational to the nation.
“Iowa loves that because, you know, we believe in common sense and we believe in the values that founded our country,” Holt said. “And so President Trump is spot on.”
Holt also accused leftists of pushing policies he claims are harmful to the country, saying they “have lost their minds.” He argued Trump’s pushback against these forces has fueled support among conservative voters.
The comments followed Trump delivering his first midterm election campaign speech of the new year in Clive, Iowa, where he urged supporters to defy historical trends and preserve Republican majorities in Congress.
