Former President Donald Trump is passing up on the opportunity this week to address a gathering of Christian conservative voters in Iowa, opening the door for his rivals to make inroads with the crucial caucus constituency.
Bob Vander Plaats, CEO of The Family Leader, announced on Twitter Tuesday that he learned Mr. Trump “will NOT attend” the group’s “Principle over Politics” summit Friday in Des Moines.
Gov. Kim Reynold of Iowa and former Fox News personality Tucker Carlson also are among the featured guests.“President Trump was in Iowa last week and will be back next week,” Mr. Cheung said before taking a shot at Mr. Trump’s chief competitor, Mr. DeSantis. “Unfortunately there is a scheduling conflict, and the president will be in Florida this weekend headlining the premier national young voter conference with Turning Point Action conference while DeSantis is nowhere to be found.
Mr. Trump went on to win the trust of those voters when he vowed to nominate conservative judges to the Supreme Court and followed through on that promise after winning The White House. Mr. Vander Plaats told The Washington Times this year that those decisions could lose Mr. Trump support among pro-life conservatives, presenting an opening for his rivals to present themselves as allies without the former president’s drama.
