DES MOINES (AP) - Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama returns to Iowa on Tuesday for an evening rally in Des Moines.

It's his first trip back since winning the Iowa caucuses in January. The rally will be held in downtown, near the Capitol.

Obama's visit marks his latest effort to shift attention away from the primary season and toward the November election.

He's reaching for a symbolic tipping point in the Oregon and Kentucky primaries -- a majority of pledged delegates offered in the Democratic race.

Rival Hillary Rodham Clinton is expected to win Kentucky. Obama is favored in Oregon.
