Reynolds: Voters won’t excuse Trump’s absence; fewer candidates needed; possible endorsement.
Iowa Governor Kim Reynolds Makes Waves with Comments on Republican Presidential Primary
Iowa Governor Kim Reynolds, the most powerful and influential Republican in Iowa, recently sat down for an interview with Fox News host Shannon Bream to discuss the Republican Party’s presidential primary. Reynolds’ remarks during the interview have generated significant attention and sparked a lively debate.
“No,” Reynolds firmly stated when asked if Iowa voters were giving former President Donald Trump a pass for skipping important events in the state. “I think they still expect him to be here, to interact with them and the other candidates. We had a fantastic turnout at the Fair Side Chats, and I received a lot of positive feedback from Iowans and people from outside the state. They were grateful for the opportunity to hear from the candidates. Iowans take this process seriously, and they want to engage with the candidates.”
Bream also highlighted the significance of Reynolds’ endorsement in the state, which is seen as a game changer among the Republican presidential candidates. She mentioned the recent attacks made by former President Trump against Reynolds, with Florida Governor Ron DeSantis coming to her defense.
Reynolds, however, stated that she is currently remaining neutral and focusing on encouraging all candidates to come to Iowa. She did not rule out the possibility of making an endorsement in the future.
In a previous interview, Reynolds responded to former President Trump’s attempts to take credit for her election as governor, emphasizing that it was the decision of the Iowans themselves.
“It’s actually Iowans who made the decision to elect me in a really tough year,” Reynolds asserted. “2018 was not a good year for Republicans, and I barely made it through.”
When asked about reports of donors pressuring other governors to enter the race, Reynolds expressed her belief that the current field of candidates is strong and that fewer candidates may be preferable.
In Conclusion
Governor Kim Reynolds’ comments on the Republican presidential primary have sparked intense discussion and debate. As the most influential Republican in Iowa, her words carry weight and have the potential to shape the course of the primary. With the field of candidates already established, all eyes will be on Iowa as the state continues to play a crucial role in the selection of the Republican nominee.
