Vander Plaats Won’t Cancel Iowa Forum

“The Iowa Family Leader and the Republican National Committee are at an impasse,” RealClearPolitics reports.

“When the influential evangelical organization invited each of the 2024 GOP presidential candidates to attend its Thanksgiving forum, the Republican National Committee quietly warned the campaigns that participating in the event would disqualify them from all future sanctioned debates.”

“Regardless, the Iowa Family Leader doesn’t have plans to reschedule or reformat.”

Said Bob Vander Plaats, the president and CEO of the organization: “We are going to move forward with the forum.”
