Trump event rescheduled to new venue

The Commit to Caucus Rally for Donald J. Trump has been rescheduled for the Terrace View Event Center in Sioux Center on January 5, 2024.

Each campaign cycle, Dordt University invites every presidential candidate in good standing with their political party (be it Republican, Independent, or Democrat) to have equal access to campus. Dordt maintains a neutral stance on political candidates and issues.

These events are intended to be educational in nature, including questions directly from Dordt students to the candidates. The Trump campaign started the process of lining up a campaign stop but desired a rally format. Dordt understood that President Trump’s visit would not be publicized until the format was finalized after the new year. Ultimately, the vision of the Trump campaign and Dordt were incongruent, and the event will not take place at the university.
