Mike Pence Again Pledges to Ban Transgender Military Personnel
Thirteen Republican presidential candidates attended the Iowa GOP’s annual Lincoln Dinner in Des Moines Friday night. While most of the evening’s focus was the sparring between GOP frontrunner Donald Trump and Florida Gov.
Ron DeSantis, Trump’s former vice president, Mike Pence, stuck to his hardline conservative social policies including stating he would reinstitute a ban on military service by transgender Americans.
According to a FiveThirtyEight poll released this past week, Trump leads with 52.4 percent, over DeSantis with 15.5 percent and the rest of the current GOP field at under 10 percent in the race for the party’s nomination at the Republican National Convention scheduled to be held July 15-18, 2024, at the Fiserv Forum in Milwaukee.
Each candidate was slotted 10 minutes to speak at the Republican party fundraiser, after which at the 10 minute mark the microphone was to be turned off.
