After Donald Trump announced this morning he was not running for president, I asked Iowa GOP officials what would happen with the scheduled June 10 Lincoln Day banquet which was to feature Donald Trump. Their response this afternoon:
Iowa GOP Spokesman Casey Mills issued the comment below regarding the status of the June 10 Lincoln Dinner.
“While our invitation to Mr. Trump never hinged on a potential Trump candidacy, Iowans responded enthusiastically and with great interest in his appearance at our annual Lincoln Day Dinner. Today, it is our understanding that Mr. Trump is reassessing his commitment. We anticipate a final decision on his June 10 appearance will be made tomorrow and we will make further comments at that time.”
A phone call to Michael Cohen, the Trump aide who traveled to Iowa several weeks ago, has not been returned.
