Why is Iowa’s governor having dinner with Donald Trump at Mara-a-Lago?
DES MOINES, Iowa (Gray Media Iowa State Capitol Bureau) – Iowa Governor Kim Reynolds returns to Mara-a-Lago for the second time in two months. Reynolds will have dinner Thursday night with President-elect Donald Trump and several other Republican governors at his Florida Resort.
One of those dinner guests with be the former presidential candidate that Reynolds endorsed before the Iowa Caucuses instead of Trump, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, as first reported by Politico.
Governors could be a necessary ally for Trump if he moves forward with plans for mass deportations of people living in the United States without legal status.
Reynolds announced her visit to Florida late Thursday morning before she flew to meet with the returning president.
This will be Reynolds’ second trip in two months to visit Trump’s resort near Palm Beach. She and Iowa’s U.S. Senator Joni Ernst, her fellow Republican, attended Trump’s victory party on election night.
