Former President Donald Trump admitted on Thursday that he would have supported the Republican primary opponent of Rep. randy Feenstra (R-IA) if he had been better informed about the candidates.
Trump endorsed Feenstra four days before the June 2 primary election, despite outspending his opponent, poliTical newcomer Zach Lahn, by nearly $1 million and having the support of the former president. however, when asked if he regretted his endorsement, Trump suggested that he did not have enough information about Lahn at the period to make an informed decision. He noted that Lahn was more supportive of his agenda than Feenstra, who is a House Republican.
Trump stated in the Oval Office, 'Had I been given the proper information, which I don't think I was, I probably would have endorsed the other person or not endorsed at all, but I would have endorsed the other person.
' Feenstra was one of the most notable Trump-endorsed candidates to lose in the Republican primaries this year. Lahn, a former GOP operative who has worked on Republican campaigns in Montana and Colorado, was once unknown but began gaining endorsements as his campaign picked up steam. Lahn will now face Iowa Auditor Rob Sand, the sole Iowa Democrat to hold statewide office, for the governor's mansion in November.
Both candidates entered the race after the resignation of former Governor Kim Reynolds
