Former President Donald Trump will not attend a major conference hosted by the Iowa conservative evangelical group the Family Leader in Iowa on Friday, but he will be in Iowa on Tuesday to tape a Fox News town hall in Cedar Rapids.
Trump will record the town hall program with Fox News host Sean Hannity at a site in Cedar Rapids yet to be announced. The town hall will air during Hannity’s normal program time that night at 8 p.m.
The Trump campaign has not announced any other events featuring Trump during his trip to Iowa next week.
The annual Family Leadership Summit, hosted by the politically focused, conservative Christian group, will be held Friday in Des Moines.
Six other Republican primary candidates are confirmed to attend the forum, which will feature conversations moderated by former Fox News host Tucker Carlson.
Trump’s campaign offered to send Ohio U.S. Sen. J.D. Vance as a surrogate for Trump, but Family Leader CEO Bob Vander Plaats turned down that offer, according to the New York Times’ Jonathan Swan on Twitter.

Swan reported that Vander Plaats said the Family Leader has a policy of declining surrogates or video presentations.
Gov. Kim Reynolds also will speak at the Family Leader event, where she will sign into law a bill lawmakers passed Tuesday that will ban abortions as early as six weeks into a pregnancy. The bill already has been challenged in court.
The six presidential hopefuls who will speak at the Family Leader event are Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis; former Vice President Mike Pence; former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley; South Carolina U.S. Sen. Tim Scott; Ohio biotech entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy; and former Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson.
Republican presidential candidate and South Carolina U.S. Sen. Tim Scott has a new ad airing in Iowa ahead of his attendance at Friday’s Family Leader event in Iowa.
Scott will be among six presidential candidates to speak at the prominent Christian conservative group’s annual event in Des Moines.
“Jesus Christ is the lord of my life. If we want a better America, I think it starts with faith in God and faith in each other,” Scott says in the ad. “We must preserve the ability to worship as we see fit.”
