Sen. Chuck Grassley says that this Iowa Dairy Queen is a "good place for u kno what." After coming across it during my reporting trip to Des Moines, I figured I had to give it a try. This Dairy Queen location, the now 89-year-old senator wrote on Twitter, is a "good place for u kno what." Since then, he's made a number of trips to other Dairy Queen locations for "u kno what." I'm currently in Iowa for a reporting trip, covering the Iowa Faith and Freedom Coalition's Annual Spring Kick-Off, where the religious conservative organization is hosting several major 2024 GOP presidential candidates.
☆ Trump keeps edge among evangelicals, but there is an opening for challengers

Trump won 76% of the white evangelical vote in 2020, down from 80% in 2016, according to Edison Research exit polls. In a March poll, Trump edged DeSantis among evangelicals in a two-way matchup 51% to 42%, a nine-point improvement for Trump from the month before. The gathering is traditionally an important stop for Republican presidential candidates, although this year DeSantis, who was invited, will not be going. Vander Plaats said evangelicals will consider whether Trump can prevail next year after losing the 2020 election to President Joe Biden. “I don’t think President Trump is a principled man -- I think he was a great president,” Ascol said.

But members gathered here at the party’s winter meeting say that once all the votes are counted, the tensions are unlikely to quickly subside. McDaniel and Dhillon supporters who spoke with NBC News acknowledged Dhillon is facing tough odds to unseat McDaniel. For nearly two months, RNC members, particularly those backing McDaniel, have been inundated with emails from Dhillon supporters pleading with them to back the insurgent candidacy. “He’s very well thought of and carries a lot of weight here,” Bill Palatucci, an RNC committeeman from New Jersey who is backing Dhillon, told NBC News. Regardless, he expressed concern that most RNC members were choosing to ignore the grassroots backlash to another McDaniel term.
☆ Donald Trump's strained bond with evangelicals creates an opening for rivals

WASHINGTON — There is a deepening crack in Donald Trump's bond with conservative faith voters that potential rivals for the 2024 GOP nomination see as an opportunity. And Pence is expected to speak to faith voters in the coming weeks in Houston, Miami, Naples, Fla., and New York City. "For all the blocs of [GOP] voters, losing the 2020 election took the shine off of Donald Trump," the adviser said. Those are the types of things that I think lose your credibility with the evangelical community and conservative voters writ large." That should give hopefuls and faith voters a chance to get a better feel for one another.
☆ Herschel Walker's supporters are suggesting Ron DeSantis would be better on Georgia campaign trail than Donald Trump, report says

Herschel Walker's allies are suggesting DeSantis would be more useful on the campaign trail than Trump. Ron DeSantis might be better to have on the campaign trail than former President Donald Trump, a CNN report says. In particular, Georgia Republicans worry that Trump would put off suburban women and independents, whose votes will be critical in the state. Reed added that he was not speaking for the Walker campaign and that perhaps Trump could still appeal to rural voters in Georgia. Erick Erickson, a Georgia-based conservative radio host who backed Trump in 2020, told CNN that support from DeSantis would be more useful in Georgia.

The DOL says an investigation found a Marriott resort discriminated against Black, Asian, and female job applicants. The hotel and conference center will pay $630,000 to settle the allegations, which it didn't admit to or deny. The apparent offences occurred between August 2018 and August 2020 at the Gaylord Opryland Resort and Convention Center. It said that the Gaylord Opryland entered into an early resolution conciliation agreement without admitting or denying the allegations. Raymond Boyd/Getty ImagesThe Gaylord Opryland is part of Marriott's Gaylord Hotels brand, which consists of five large, upmarket hotels, with a sixth set to open in 2025.
☆ Trump has failed to show he declassified docs seized from Mar-a-Lago, DOJ tells appeals court
  + stars: | 2022-09-21 | by ( Kevin Breuninger | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +5 min
The DOJ lawyers added that Trump "is now resisting" a request by a court-appointed special master for him to provide evidence that he declassified records that were seized. But in Tuesday's court conference, Dearie expressed skepticism toward Trump's lawyers about which, if any, of the seized Mar-a-Lago records had been declassified, NBC News reported. Unless Trump's lawyers could provide evidence to dispute that stance, "As far as I'm concerned, that's the end of it," Dearie said. Court documents also revealed that the FBI found four dozen empty folders marked "CLASSIFIED" during the raid. "Those notes could certainly contain privileged information," Trump's lawyers wrote.
