RNC Warns Candidates Against Attending Iowa Christian Group's Forum

The Republican National Committee (RNC) has warned several 2024 GOP presidential candidates, including Donald Trump and Ron DeSantis, that attending an Iowa Christian organization's Thanksgiving forum would disqualify them from future RNC presidential debates. The RNC counsel's office stated that participating in non-RNC-sanctioned events violated the candidates' pledge not to engage in such debates. The Family Leader, the organization hosting the forum, plans to proceed with the event, asserting that it is a different format from RNC debates. Despite the warning, DeSantis confirmed his attendance, while the Trump campaign raised concerns but stated that the former president has no plans to attend.
