However, it seems that former President Donald Trump will not be in attendance.<\/p>\n<p>The summit, co-hosted by the Family Leader and The Blaze, promises to be a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/knowles-juneteenth-should-not-be-a-federal-holiday\/\" title=\"KNOWLES: \u2018Juneteenth\u2019 Should Not Be A Federal Holiday\">significant event<\/a> in the 2024 Republican Primary season, featuring the first <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/in-nevada-a-corrupt-cash-for-votes-scheme-is-hiding-in-plain-sight\/\" title=\"In Nevada, A Corrupt Cash-For-Votes Scheme Is Hiding In Plain Sight\">presidential forum<\/a>. Republican candidates such as former Vice President Mike Pence, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, and former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley are among the notable attendees.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, President Trump has declined the opportunity to participate in the summit, as announced by Bob Vander Plaats, president and CEO of The Family Leader. Despite this absence, the lineup remains impressive, with visionary discussions scheduled between the candidates and Tucker Carlson.<\/p>\n<p>The Family Leader extended invitations to President Joe Biden and Democratic challenger Robert F. Kennedy Jr., but their attendance remains unconfirmed.<\/p>\n<p>In response to President Trump&#8217;s absence, his campaign spokesman Steven Cheung cited a scheduling conflict. However, Trump will be headlining the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/trump-set-to-miss-iowa-presidential-forum-hosted-by-tucker-carlson\/\" title=\"Trump to Skip Iowa Presidential Forum Hosted by Tucker Carlson\">premier national young voter conference<\/a> with Turning Point Action in Florida, where DeSantis will not be present.<\/p>\n<p>While the Turning Point Action conference boasts appearances from notable figures like Tucker Carlson and Miami Mayor Francis Suarez, it&#8217;s clear that the absence of DeSantis will be felt.<\/p>\n<h3>Trump Criticizes Iowa Governor&#8217;s &#8216;Neutrality&#8217;<\/h3>\n<p>Interestingly, President Trump&#8217;s decision not to attend The Family Leadership summit came shortly after he criticized Republican Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds for her neutral stance on the 2024 Republican primary race.<\/p>\n<p>In a passionate post on his Truth social media account, Trump expressed his disappointment with Reynolds, highlighting his support for Iowa and her <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/democrats-are-openly-rooting-for-donald-trump\/\" title=\"Democrats Are Openly Rooting for Donald Trump\">previous campaign<\/a>. He made it clear that her neutrality would result in her exclusion from future events.<\/p>\n<p>Bob Vander Plaats, however, defended the Iowa governor, emphasizing that Iowa remains open and welcoming.<\/p>\n<p>As the summit approaches, the impact of these social and political dynamics remains uncertain.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Former President Donald Trump is unlikely to attend a Christian conservative voter gathering in Iowa, organized by Tucker Carlson, former Fox News host.
