Most of the declared major candidates of the 2024 Republican presidential primary will speak at a Republican fundraising event in Des Moines, Iowa, on July 28.
Starting at 6:00 pm, nearly every major candidate will have 10 minutes to address a crowd of 1,200 people at the Lincoln Dinner, the largest gathering yet held in the politically crucial Hawkeye State. To ensure compliance with the strict 10-minute rule, microphones will be deactivated after 10 minutes.
