Trump \u200bexpressed \u200dhis gratitude \u2064for the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/if-the-media-had-investigated-cuomos-covid-response-the-way-they-did-cruzs-cancun-trip-thousands-of-new-yorkers-could-still-be-alive\/\" title=\"If The Media Had Investigated Cuomo\u2019s COVID Response The Way They Did Cruz\u2019s Cancun Trip, Thousands Of New Yorkers Could Still Be Alive\">overwhelming number<\/a>\u2062 of fans who had gathered to see him.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;I think it&#8217;s \u200ca <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/kelli-ward-reelected-as-ariz-gop-chairwoman\/\" title=\"Kelli Ward reelected as Ariz. GOP chairwoman\">great honor<\/a> to be here, we have a record set,\u2062 the record is the largest crowd they ever had, and I can see that,&#8221; Trump told reporters at the fairgrounds. &#8220;I can see that because you cannot get any more people here and I am very \u2062honored by it, it&#8217;s a tremendous thing.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h3>Trump&#8217;s Dominance and Rivalry<\/h3>\n<p>Trump&#8217;s appearance at the fair coincided with\u200d his chief rival, \u2063Governor Ron DeSantis of\u200d Florida, who\u2064 is also vying \u2062for the\u200b party&#8217;s presidential nomination. This \u2062led\u200d to competing events that \u2064threatened to overshadow the Florida governor.\u2062 Despite his strong position in the polls, Trump has experienced a slight dip \u2064in popularity \u2062in Iowa. Interestingly, he \u2063declined an invitation from Governor Kim Reynolds for a \u2062one-on-one interview \u2064during his visit to the\u200c fair.<\/p>\n<p>The strained relationship \u2063between Trump and \u200cReynolds stems from the former \u200dpresident&#8217;s criticism\u2064 of her \u2062neutrality in the Republican primaries. Reynolds has chosen not to endorse any candidate, emphasizing the \u2064importance of giving\u200c every contender a fair \u2063chance in Iowa. However,\u2064 Trump has expressed dissatisfaction with \u200bthe governor&#8217;s association \u200bwith his arch rival.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cMaybe\u200c down the road, we\u2019ll \u2063do something\u200c different,\u201d Reynolds told CNN.\u2064 \u201cBut right now, it\u2019s really \u2064important \u2064that \u200dthey [the candidates] feel like they have a \u2064fair shot, and they\u2019re welcome\u2064 here in Iowa, \u2064and \u200cI want Iowans to have the chance\u200d to interact with them.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h3>Uncertainty\u200d Surrounding Trump&#8217;s Participation in GOP \u2064Debate<\/h3>\n<p>As Trump&#8217;s presence at the first GOP debate remains uncertain, he has already qualified based on\u200b polling\u2064 and \u2062donor criteria. However, the Republican National Committee requires all candidates to sign a pledge promising\u2064 to support the eventual nominee,\u2063 which Trump has yet to do.<\/p>\n<p>Five candidates, including DeSantis, Senator Tim Scott, \u200cformer Governor Nikki \u2062Haley, Governor Doug Burgum, and \u200dbusinessman Vivek Ramaswamy, \u200chave fully \u200dqualified for \u200cthe debate and have signed the\u200d pledge. \u200cTrump&#8217;s former Vice President Mike Pence has also \u2063qualified but has\u200c not yet signed, although he has indicated his intention to do so.<\/p>\n<p>The \u200dfirst debate is scheduled for August \u200b23rd in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and will be moderated by Fox News.<\/p>\n<p>For more information, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\">click\u2064 here<\/a> to visit \u200bThe Washington Examiner.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Former President Donald Trump boasted about drawing the biggest crowd in Iowa State Fair history during his visit.
