Iowa evangelicals remain key focus for 2024 Republican hopefuls.

Republican presidential hopefuls, including Donald Trump, Mike Pence, and Tim Scott, are set to attend the Iowa Faith and Freedom Coalition's annual spring fundraiser, which marks the unofficial start of the state's 2024 caucus campaign. The event gives the candidates a chance to make their pitch to influential religious conservatives in a state where Republicans will kick off the nominating process next year. The gathering comes as abortion rights have reemerged as a pivotal issue in elections after conservatives last year achieved their long-sought goal of overturning the landmark Roe v. Wade ruling.
