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.”
