Donald Trump is now set to take a major step for a possible Republican presidential candidate: Traveling to Iowa, where he will headline the state party’s annual Lincoln Dinner on June 10.
State GOP chairman Matt Strawn said in a statement: “As Chairman, I have made it a priority to deliver interesting and high-profile national Republican leaders to speak at our events. Mr. Trump’s appearance in June is the latest instance of the Iowa GOP working to provide value to its activists, donors and supporters.”
Strawn also told the Des Moines Register that he approached Trump last month, during a trip to New York: “When he decided to make a CPAC appearance and first started making rumblings of potentially exploring a presidential run, I thought, if that’s the case, we need to reach out to him to headline one of our events.”
