(Radio Iowa) – Former President Donald Trump says he’s not inviting Governor Kim Reynolds to his campaign events after a newspaper report suggested there’s tension between Trump and Reynolds. Trump posted a statement on his Truth Social platform after a New York Times story indicated his campaign is frustrated with Governor Reynolds for appearing alongside Florida Governor Ron DeSantis in Florida and in Iowa.

Trump says on Truth Social that he opened up the governor’s position for Reynolds when he appointed former Governor Terry Branstad to be U-S Ambassador to China and he endorsed her when she fell behind in her 2018 race for governor. Trump says he’s not inviting her to his events now that she plans to remain neutral in the presidential race.

Reynolds has said she’ll appear with any G-O-P presidential candidate who invites her and she spoke at Trump’s first campaign event in Iowa this year.
