Watch Replay: Donald Trump And Hillary Clinton Speak In Iowa After New FBI Email Revelations
Both presidential candidates will hit the Hawkeye State just 11 days out from election day.
Both Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton were scheduled to hold rallies in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, on Friday — and Clinton will also make a stop in Des Moines — as they make a late bid to voters in the Hawkeye State less than two weeks before Election Day.
Clinton kicked things off with a 1:15 p.m. CT appearance in Cedar Rapids at NewBo City Market. She was joined by Planned Parenthood President Cecile Richards, EMILY's List President Stephanie Schriock and NARAL Pro-Choice America President Ilyse Hogue in a bid for women voters.
Next, Clinton headed to Des Moines for a 4:45 p.m. CT event at Theodore Roosevelt High School to "talk about the stakes of this election and encourage Iowans to vote early." No guests for that event were listed on Clinton's website.

Clinton's campaign stops in Iowa took on even more importance following breaking news Friday that the FBI was looking into newly discovered emails related to Clinton to see if they contained classified information. She did not address the issue in either of her two rallies.
After a couple of stops in New England, Donald Trump finished off the Iowa presidential blitz with a 7 p.m. rally in Cedar Rapids at McGrath Amphitheatre.

Trump is holding onto just a 1.7-point lead in Iowa, according to the RealClearPolitics average of major state polls. Iowa and its six electoral votes are considered a "toss-up" right now in most major election trackers. In particular, Trump needs to win the Hawkeye State to have a chance to win the general election.
Trump hasn't visited Cedar Rapids since July, when he appeared at the downtown DoubleTree Hotel & Convention Center.
Nationally, Clinton continues to hold a healthy lead over Trump, up more than five points Friday morning, according to the RealClearPolitics average. RCP projects Clinton with 252 electoral votes in states likely to go Democrat, just 18 shy of the 270 needed to win the presidential election.
