The Iowa State Fair is coming next month and Iowa Governor Kim Reynolds wants to interview the Republican presidential candidates during the fair.

She’s inviting them all for one-on-one style interviews that go ‘beyond the issues’.

Republican Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds is inviting all the GOP presidential hopefuls to join her for “Fair Side Chats” next month at the Iowa State Fair.

Reynolds’ political team says the one-on-one style interviews “will go beyond just the issues of a presidential campaign and allow fairgoers to see who the candidates really are.”

The governor shared her news first with Fox News Digital and in an appearance on “Fox and Friends” on Monday morning.

Reynolds’ interviews will take place at JR’s South Pork Ranch at the fairgrounds and will be scheduled throughout the duration of the Iowa State Fair, which this year is being held Aug. 10-20. The governor’s team highlights that Reynolds interviews with the presidential candidates will be open to fairgoers and the media.

“I couldn’t be more excited to host the Presidential Candidates at our world-class Iowa State Fair, showcasing all we have to offer,” Reynolds said in a statement to Fox News. “These one-on-one ‘Fair-Side Chats’ offer the candidates an incredible opportunity to share their message directly with Iowans. With just 6 months to go until the Iowa Caucus, it’s crunch time!”

The Iowa GOP announced earlier this month that the 2024 presidential caucuses will be held on Jan. 15.

I expect most candidates will accept this invitation but it’s always a standing question whether Trump will agree to be interviewed by Reynolds, especially after he criticized because she dared to stay neutral in this primary.
