American politician, 46th Governor of Florida - Republican contenders for president will address a gathering of social conservatives in the early nominating state of Iowa on Friday, but the event will be most notable for the 2024 candidate who will not be there: the front-runner, Donald Trump.
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, former Vice President Mike Pence, former U.S. ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley and U.S. Senator Tim Scott will be among the candidates appearing at the forum, to be moderated by former Fox News Channel host Tucker Carlson. Trump's campaign said he had a scheduling conflict.
With a national poll lead of around 30 percentage points, Trump appears to want to engage with Iowa voters on his own terms. After he was criticized for skipping the evangelical event, his campaign announced that he will return to Iowa for a town hall next week. That led to The Family Leader’s president and CEO, Bob Vander Plaats, saying on Twitter that Trump going after Reynolds wasn't smart and that the race in the state was “wide open.”
