Donald Trump will not be attending the Family Leadership Summit in Des Moines, Iowa on Friday, a major gathering of Republican presidential hopefuls and Iowa GOP voters. His absence has been met with criticism from Iowa residents and Bob Vander Plaats, the president and CEO of the Family Leader. The summit is an important event for Republican presidential hopefuls, as it is hosted by a prominent evangelical Christian group in a state where those voters make up the majority of likely GOP caucusgoers. It is unclear why Trump has chosen to skip the event, but it is likely to have an impact on the outcome of the Iowa primaries.
