Response to Cancellation of In-Person Events
The cancellation of in-person events in Iowa and Kansas was due to unforeseen circumstances and safety concerns. This decision may impact the campaign's momentum, but the administration believes that holding online gatherings can provide a suitable opportunity to connect with voters.
