WATCH LIVE NOW: Donald J. Trump rally in Sioux City, IA.
, who is seeking his eighth term in Congress. The 89-year-old lawmaker is one of the most senior and respected members of Congress and his seat had been all but assured in the past several elections.
In fact, his Democratic opponent, Michael Franken, hasn't received a dime or support from the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee because the race wasn't considered competitive enough. That changed about a month ago when a Des Moines Register Iowa Poll showed Grassley leading Franken among likely voters 46% to 43%, within the poll's margin of error. A similar poll, taken four months ago, had the elder statesman up by eight points.
"[Trump] is going to be able to have just hundreds and probably thousands of Iowans there," Grassley said ahead of Thursday's event."It gives me a chance to be and speak to those Iowans. I don't take any vote for granted."
