(Radio Iowa) – Republican Congressman Randy Feenstra met with a crowd of avid Trump supporters last (Tuesday) night, fielding questions about his campaign for governor and his neutrality during the early months of the 2024 presidential campaign.

A woman in the audience noted Feenstra did not endorse Trump prior to the Iowa Caucuses and asked why Feenstra thought President Trump would endorse his run for governor. Feenstra, who recently spent time on Air Force One with Trump, said he’s working to earn Trump’s endorsement.

Another person in the crowd criticized Feenstra for not attending debates and forums alongside the other candidates in the race. Feenstra says he’s campaigning around the state, holding meet and greets and answering questions.

Feentra told reporters the time to debate will be after the March filing deadline passes and the field of Primary candidates is set.
