  • Republican Gov. Kim Reynolds of Iowa fired back at former President Donald Trump, who criticized her for not endorsing him in the upcoming Republican primaries.
  • Reynolds pledged to remain neutral during the Iowa caucuses during a May 31 appearance on “The Ingraham Angle,” citing Iowa’s first-in-the-nation role in the Republican nomination contest. Trump criticized her over the decision, saying he “opened up the Governor position for” her.
  • “It’s actually Iowans who made the decision to elect me in a really tough year,” Reynolds told CNN. “2018 was not a good year for Republicans. I squeaked by.”
