Republican White House hopefuls are courting influential religious conservatives at an event in Iowa that marks the unofficial start of the state's 2024 caucus campaign.
The Iowa Faith and Freedom Coalition's annual spring fundraiser on Saturday evening is attracting, among others, former President Donald Trump, who's already a candidate, as well as former Vice President Mike Pence and U.S. Sen. Tim Scott of South Carolina, who are expected to enter the race. Trump is to appear via video. Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, considered a top rival to Trump, is not attending.
The Republican presidential field is trying to get a handle on how far to go in supporting restrictions on the procedure to satisfy the conservative base in the primary but not to further alienate general election voters, most of whom support keeping abortion legal. Despite the credit Trump received for his judicial nominations, he was criticized after last year's elections for saying that Republicans' underperformance was due to abortion foes' opposition to exceptions for women who became pregnant by rape or incest or whose life was at risk.
