No Trump as US presidential hopefuls march
Jul 06, 2023
New York [US], July 6: Ron DeSantis was in New Hampshire. Mike Pence was in Iowa. And Donald Trump was home at his New Jersey golf course.
Republican presidential candidates fanned out across US early voting states to march in Fourth of July parades on Tuesday, while Trump stayed put at his Bedminster resort with little reason to stump for himself given his mammoth lead over the field. DeSantis pressed the flesh in a morning parade in Wolfeboro, New Hampshire, on the shores of Lake Winnipesaukee, a well-heeled resort area where moderate Republican Senator Mitt Romney owns a sprawling summer home.
Senator Tim Scott of South Carolina, who is in the second tier of candidates, also marched in that parade.
Pence marched in the Des Moines suburb of Urbandale, Iowa. The former vice president is betting the farm that he can win an upset on the back of the Hawkeye State's staunchly evangelical Christian conservative Republican caucus crowd.
