Trump's move to attend the event appears designed to take the spotlight away from the other Republican candidates, especially his nearest rival, DeSantis, who has been sinking in the polls and is desperately trying to recalibrate his campaign.
American politician, 46th Governor of Florida - Donald Trump plans to attend the upcoming Iowa State Fair but will skip events with other Republican presidential candidates, an aide to the former president said on Monday, a move likely designed to steal the limelight from his White House rivals.
It last year attracted 1 million attendees and is an important venue for political candidates as they court voters in the state that opens the nominating contest in January. Most of his rivals have agreed to be interviewed individually at the state fair by Iowa's Republican Governor Kim Reynolds between Aug. 11 and Aug. 18, but Trump turned down her invitation. Trump has been angered by her public neutrality in the primary race and her appearance with DeSantis at several of his Iowa events.
He was given an enthusiastic reception by crowds, in an early sign of the support that would propel him to victory over Democrat Hillary Clinton in November 2016.
