King Hopes to be Presidential Kingmaker

Rep. Steve King (R-IA) “is expanding his footprint as a presidential kingmaker,” the Des Moines Register reports. “The conservative congressman with the fitting last name is launching his own annual multicandidate forum for presidential hopefuls.”

Already attending the January summit: Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX), former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee (R), and former Sen. Rick Santorum (R-PA).

Said King: “It’ll be an event that all the nation stops and looks at. What gets said and done, some of those things will be driving the conversation in the country.”
