Republican 2024 contender Nikki Haley will take part in Sen. Joni Ernst’s (R-IA) annual “Roast and Ride” fundraiser for veterans next month.
Ernst, a former military officer, has been neutral in the GOP primary, and Haley is the first declared hopeful announced as a guest for the event, which will take place at the Iowa State Fairgrounds on June 3.
NIKKI HALEY BACKS CONGRESSIONAL TERM LIMITS PLAN
“I am SO thrilled to announce @nikkihaley as one of our special guests at this year’s #RoastandRide! She is a true conservative champion, and I look forward to welcoming her on June 3rd to hear her vision for a strong and proud America,” Ernst tweeted.
Other 2024 hopefuls were invited, including former President Donald Trump and Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL), who has not declared his campaign, Ernst told NBC News. The senator, whose home state is the leadoff in the GOP primary process, indicated she does not plan to endorse in the primary.
Haley has barnstormed the Hawkeye State aggressively since debuting her campaign back in February. She’s attended dozens of events in Iowa, and the “Roast and Ride” will be her second major event with Ernst.
“As a military family, we know how important it is to take care of our veterans on and off the battlefield. We’re looking forward to joining @JoniErnst in Des Moines for her annual Roast and Ride benefiting Iowa’s Freedom Foundation!” Haley tweeted.

The event will feature a motorcycle ride and a roast at the state fairgrounds.
One of Ernst’s claims to fame was an ad she cut during the 2014 election cycle showcasing her farm life bona fides and boasting about her knowledge of how to castrate a pig. She vowed to take her farmhand skills to Washington.
