Amid plates of sliced pork, statement-making leather ensembles and piles of political T-shirts, eight Republican presidential hopefuls descended on Iowa on Saturday to pitch themselves to voters and—in Mike Pence’s case—hop on a motorcycle. The former vice president and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis were among the White House contenders appearing at a rally at the state fairgrounds near Des Moines, the AP reports. The event was hosted by US Sen. Joni Ernst. Her annual political event, the “Roast and Ride”—a combination barbecue-rally and motorcycle ride—kicks off the summer campaign season heading into the state’s first-in-the-nation caucuses early next year.
