Top Iowa evangelical leader says ‘people want to turn the page’ on Trump

A major evangelical leader in Iowa on Monday argued a major gathering of religious conservatives last week showed many voters are ready to “turn the page” from former President Trump.

Bob Vander Plaats, president of The Family Leader in Iowa, offered his takeaways from the group’s summit in Des Moines last Friday. He said former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley “intrigued and impressed,” while entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy was “inspired and on message.” Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R), he said, was “in command and validated his leadership bona fides.”

Vander Plaats said the biggest win was Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds (R) signing a heartbeat abortion bill at the event, while the “biggest loss” belonged to Trump, “as it becomes more clear…people want to turn the page.”
